Integrate Printing into this server #4
Comments
This feature is built in to ubuntu, you just add a network printer, just open system-config-printer |
Hi, thank you for the fast response. This is actually part of cups, not specific to Ubuntu (or even Linux), it is a nice feature, but it does have some limitations. For instance, if I want to print from laptop from the office, I would need to install the driver on that laptop, I know it is quite simple, but at the same time, it'd be nice if I could just send the pdf to the server and have it print it for me. Another use that I've been looking at is printing pdfs from my phone. I know, I know, "who needs that?" right? I don't know, just wondering. I think it would be a nice addition for the php-scanner-server, but I agree that it is somewhat superfluous. |
i know back when i used XP and i shared my printer there was a option to share it and require other systems to have drivers, there may be a Linux equivalent of this feature, since i don't use windows any more i never had a use for that |
My phone (Android 4.2) does not natively support printing (as far as I If I select that option, the browser loads the image I selected and issues Pedro Nariyoshi On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 9:44 AM, GM-Script-Writer-62850 <

I would think you could change the default printer |
Ok, i just found out what a PITA it is to print from a phone, this shall be done |
Thanks for reconsidering it. I have successfully been using AirPrint with https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate, but that only allows iStuff to print (useful for my wife, but not for me) |
Needs some testing Note the install_git_version script on the downloads section of the wiki |
made some adjustments, still need to add a double sided printing option |
*double sided printing is probably bugged right now, just found out a way to detect printer options and they appear to have no standard (go figure, printers need to be scraped and all replaced and use a standard API that eliminates the need for drivers) |
And i think i have it ready, but i am not going to say it is stable yet, ready for serious testing though |
have you had time to try the git version? |
Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment with teaching and taking classes. I haven't been having any free time at all. Maybe I can try it next month. |
Tried to use it today and found a rather large bug, i am pretty sure it it ready to go now (fingers crossed) |
Added another update, you will need to rescan for printers after updating |
Hi, I've been using PHP Scanner Server in my office, it is great. Since we only have one scanner, I connected it to our Linux Server and now everyone can scan without needing drivers, different log ins etc.
Would it be possible to integrate a Print server as well? I know I could try to use Samba to do it, but some of the computers are not in the same subnet (due to the university's network configuration).
My idea would be:
1 - Upload file
2 - Issue a "lpr" command
Again, thank you for the great software! (;
