+#!/usr/bin/env bash

+# Put it into /usr/lib/cups/backend/bbb-copy-raw
+
+# This virtual "printer" is run after BigBlueButton collects
+# all artefacts of the meeting to /var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/$meeting_id
+# and sends all that to a special worker which processes (converts) recordings.
+# All recordings are sent, even those where recording was not turned on,
+# because it may have been not tunred on erroneously and so we still have
+# to keep the recording artefact. The storage of recordings will rotate them.
+# "Printer class" in CUPS may be used to load balance processing of recordings
+# to multiple workers. Printer Device URI can be used to show which "printer"
+# (recordings processing worker) has been chosen by CUPS.
