Ruby gem for raw printing on windows.
The WinPrint library offers a way to send raw data to a system printer on windows. It also allows to fetch the printer list.
gem install win_print
require 'win_print'
# Get array of printer names:
#
WinPrint.get_printer_names
# => ["Microsoft XPS Document Writer", "Microsoft Print to PDF", "Fax"]
# Send raw data to a system printer.
#
# Arguments:
# printer_name: (String)
# data: (String) raw data to be sent to the printer
# job_name: (String) will be displayed e.g. in the printer queue
#
# Note: For data, the encoding matters and the data will be sent as-is to the printer.
# Will raise RuntimeError if something goes wrong.
#
WinPrint.raw_print("Zebra GK420t", "Some raw data.", "Test Job from WinPrint gem")
# => true
