All I can give you is a starting point. It's been a while since I even set up a printer manually in Linux. The printing system is probably CUPS. There is a lot of documentation about CUPS availble on the Internet.

I'm not sure from your post exactly what you're looking for, and I don't know if CUPS generates any files in the printing process, but the documentation of that process should exist since it's an open source project.
