v0.1.0
PrintLatch 0.1.0
The first public release is a deliberately narrow, local-first PDF print bridge
for Windows 11 x64.
What works
- Explicit five-minute pairing for one exact HTTPS browser origin
- Rotatable and revocable local-process credentials
- Static, unencrypted PDF validation with size and resource limits
- Durable local queue with cancel, bounded retry, and restart-safe
unknown
state - Authenticated preview and document retrieval
- Built-in
capture:pdftarget for a printer-free end-to-end path - Windows printer discovery and native PDF submission
- Dependency-free TypeScript SDK for browser and Node.js Fetch
- Per-user PowerShell install and uninstall
Honest boundaries
- Supported: Windows 11 x64, PDF, A4/Letter-style document workflows
- Not supported: Windows 10, ARM64, macOS, Linux, raw ESC/POS or ZPL, label and
receipt media, HTML, images, URLs, encrypted PDFs, or remote cloud relay - A
succeededphysical-printer job means Windows accepted the submission. It
does not prove that paper emerged. - The executable is not code-signed. Verify
SHA256SUMS.txtand the GitHub
build-provenance attestation. Windows may display a SmartScreen warning.
