Software to fetch, format, and print emails from a thermal printer.
Prep an sd card with: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ (I used the lite version) Allow ssh and wifi by [configuring the sd image|https://howchoo.com/g/ndy1zte2yjn/how-to-set-up-wifi-on-your-raspberry-pi-without-ethernet]
Install a bunch of things! These two guides got me there: https://learn.adafruit.com/pi-thermal-printer/raspberry-pi-software-setup https://learn.adafruit.com/networked-thermal-printer-using-cups-and-raspberry-pi/connect-and-configure-printer
Setup the printer using CUPS: https://www.howtogeek.com/169679/how-to-add-a-printer-to-your-raspberry-pi-or-other-linux-computer/
Setup a project, OAuth Client, etc. Here's a decent starting point:
https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/googleapis/latest/gmail/index.html#oauth2-client
Download your secrets to credentials/client_secret.json
lpr -o fit-to-page [image] (on pi, lp)
base64 --decode
List print queue lpstat -o
Delete everything in print queue cancel -a -x (yes, it's weird that cancel isn't prefixed but it is an lp- command)
scp -r /Projects/email-printer/ pi@raspberrypi.local:/email-printer
crontab -e add a line: */10 * * * * ~/email-printer/checkandprint.sh >> ~/email-printer/log/checkandprint.log 2>&1
Refactor body parsing properly into email fetching Handle attachments Write tests Turn links into qr codes
