node-printer ============ Native bind printers on POSIX and Windows OS from Node.js, iojs and node-webkit. <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Linux</th> <th>Windows</th> <th>Dependencies</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="https://travis-ci.org/tojocky/node-printer"><img src="https://travis-ci.org/tojocky/node-printer.svg?branch=master"></a> </td> <td align="center"> <a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tojocky/node-printer"><img src="https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/9y800f36wla35ee7?svg=true"></a> </td> <td align="center"> <a href="https://david-dm.org/tojocky/node-printer"><img src="https://david-dm.org/tojocky/node-printer.svg"></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> If you have a problem, ask question to [](https://gitter.im/tojocky/node-printer?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) or find/create a new [Github issue](https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer/issues) ### Reason: I was involved in a project where I need to print from Node.JS. This is the reason why I created this project and I want to share my code with others. ### Features: * no dependecies; * native method wrappers from Windows and POSIX (which uses [CUPS 1.4/MAC OS X 10.6](http://cups.org/)) APIs; * compatible with node v0.8.x, 0.9.x and v0.11.x (with 0.11.9 and 0.11.13); * compatible with node-webkit v0.8.x and 0.9.2; * `getPrinters()` to enumerate all installed printers with current jobs and statuses; * `getPrinter(printerName)` to get a specific/default printer info with current jobs and statuses; * `getPrinterDriverOptions(printerName)` ([POSIX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) only) to get a specific/default printer driver options such as supported paper size and other info * `getSelectedPaperSize(printerName)` ([POSIX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) only) to get a specific/default printer default paper size from its driver options * `getDefaultPrinterName()` return the default printer name; * `printDirect(options)` to send a job to a specific/default printer, now supports [CUPS options](https://www.cups.org/doc/options.html) passed in the form of a JS object (see `cancelJob.js` example). To print a PDF from windows it is possible by using [node-pdfium module](https://github.com/tojocky/node-pdfium) to convert a PDF format into EMF and after to send to printer as EMF; * `printFile(options)` ([POSIX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) only) to print a file; * `getSupportedPrintFormats()` to get all possible print formats for printDirect method which depends on OS. `RAW` and `TEXT` are supported from all OS-es; * `getJob(printerName, jobId)` to get a specific job info including job status; * `setJob(printerName, jobId, command)` to send a command to a job (e.g. `'CANCEL'` to cancel the job); * `getSupportedJobCommands()` to get supported job commands for setJob() depends on OS. `'CANCEL'` command is supported from all OS-es. ### How to install: Make sure you have Python 2.x installed on your system. Windows users will also require Visual Studio (2013 Express is a good fit) from [npmjs.org](https://www.npmjs.org/package/printer) #### Prebuilt node builds ``` npm install printer --target_arch=ia32 npm install printer --target_arch=x64 ``` #### Prebuilt electron builds Say you are installing 1.4.5 electron. Please check the [Releases](https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer/releases) for supported Electron versions ``` npm install printer --runtime=electron --target=1.4.5 --target_arch=x64 npm install printer --runtime=electron --target=1.4.5 --target_arch=ia32 ``` #### For building after install ``` npm install -g node-gyp npm install printer --msvs_version=2013 --build-from-source=node_printer ``` or [direct from git](https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-install.html): npm install git+https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer.git if you want to to run in [nwjs](http://nwjs.io/) then rebuild the module with [nw-gyp](https://github.com/nwjs/nw-gyp): ``` npm install -g nw-gyp cd node_modules/printer nw-gyp rebuild ``` For specific distribution `--dist-url` node-gyp parameter should be used. Example for electron: ``` node-gyp rebuild --target=0.37.4 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell ``` Ubuntu User : You need to install libcups2-dev package `sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev` ### How to use: See [examples](https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer/tree/master/examples) ### Author(s): * Ion Lupascu, ionlupascu@gmail.com ### Contibutors: Feel free to download, test and propose new futures ### License: [The MIT License (MIT)](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
