No, I added the path to the connection field in system-config-printers as per
the web page I was following.
I've now updated the config as you suggested. I now have the line
OUT /var/spool/cups-pdf/created
however, when I did a test print it put the file as
/var/spool/cups-pdf/root/job_4281-Test_Page.pdf
(I turned on tagging too as the eventual use of this will see people all
printing the same named report

The old smb.conf section used to look like:
[t-cards]
comment = T-Cards document library submissions
path = /var/spool/t-cards
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = no
printable = yes
users = gary
force user = gary
force group = gary
valid users = gary
print command
= /usr/bin/smb_to_t-cards '/var/spool/t-cards/' '%f' '%J' '%m' '%s' '%p' '%c' '%z'
Once Samba had finished receiving the file it called the command smb_to_tcards
script which then the required processing. This is what I want to recreate.
