This is the reason why I created this project and I want to share my code with others.\r\n\r\n\r\n### Features:\r\n\r\n* no dependecies;\r\n* native method wrappers from Windows and POSIX (which uses [CUPS 1.4/MAC OS X 10.6](http://cups.org/)) APIs;\r\n* compatible with node v0.8.x, 0.9.x and v0.11.x (with 0.11.9 and 0.11.13);\r\n* compatible with node-webkit v0.8.x and 0.9.2;\r\n* `getPrinters()` to enumerate all installed printers with current jobs and statuses;\r\n* `getPrinter(printerName)` to get a specific/default printer info with current jobs and statuses;\r\n* `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\r\n* `getSelectedPaperSize(printerName)` ([POSIX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) only) to get a specific/default printer default paper size from its driver options\r\n* `getDefaultPrinterName()` return the default printer name;\r\n* `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;\r\n* `printFile(options)` ([POSIX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) only) to print a file;\r\n* `getSupportedPrintFormats()` to get all possible print formats for printDirect method which depends on OS. `RAW` and `TEXT` are supported from all OS-es;\r\n* `getJob(printerName, jobId)` to get a specific job info including job status;\r\n* `setJob(printerName, jobId, command)` to send a command to a job (e.g. `'CANCEL'` to cancel the job);\r\n* `getSupportedJobCommands()` to get supported job commands for setJob() depends on OS. `'CANCEL'` command is supported from all OS-es.\r\n\r\n\r\n### How to install:\r\n```\r\nnpm install printer\r\n```\r\n\r\n### How to use:\r\n\r\nSee [examples](https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer/tree/master/examples)\r\n\r\n### Author(s):\r\n\r\n* Ion Lupascu, ionlupascu@gmail.com\r\n\r\n### Contibutors:\r\n\r\n* Thiago Lugli, @thiagoelg\r\n* Eko Eryanto, @ekoeryanto\r\n\r\nFeel free to download, test and propose new futures\r\n\r\n### License:\r\n [The MIT License (MIT)](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)\r\n","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
