electron-printer's Introduction

electron-printer

node-printer fork to be used with electron. It's a fork from node-printer which binary are released on github. It's a temporary solution until binary package will be available for node 5.1.x and windows / linux platforms for node-printer on electron runtime. Please refer to https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer on how to use these APIs.

Prerequisite

Install the node version used by electron (currently is 5.1.1 for electron 0.36.7). A github valid NODE_PRE_GYP_GITHUB_TOKEN must be set as env variable.

Release & Build

Remember to change the binary host with the correct version (see https://github.com/bchr02/node-pre-gyp-github). After the release, build the binaries for each OS.

Linux build

On Ubuntu 15.10, install:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev g++-multilib libudev-dev:i386 libcups2-dev

And then run npm run release-linux (x64) or npm run release-linux-ia32 (ia32) to publish the binary build

Windows build

Use a Windows 7 on x64. Install Visual Studio (2013 is OK on Windows 7) and Python 2.7.x Always specify the VisualStudio version using --msvs_version=xxxx, foor instance npm i --msvs_version=2013

Release using npm run release-win --msvs_version=2013 (x64) or npm run release-win-ia32 --msvs_version=2013 (ia32)

OSx build

After npm i, just use npm run release-darwin (npm run release should work)

Error in Debian 8.3

On Debian, the module fails with this error:

Building the binaries in a previous version of Ubuntu (i.e. 15.04) should solve the issue.

Thanks!

Compatibility with electron-prebuild 1.2.x

Hi,

we want to use this library but have to resort to an older electron-prebuild version because this module does not work with newer electron (and thus node 6) versions.

With newer versions we get an error like Uncaught Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 48, got 47. Everything works fine with electron-prebuild 1.0.2 (which uses node 5.10).

Sadly some other modules are not compatible with that electron-prebuild version and using an older node version isn't preferable either.

Would it be possible to make this module compatible with newer node / electron versions?

Thanks!

Details for installing on windows

Can you give me a more detailed explanation of how to install this module.

This is the actual explanation:

Use a Windows 7 on x64. Install Visual Studio (2013 is OK on Windows 7) and Python 2.7.x Always specify the VisualStudio version using --msvs_version=xxxx, foor instancenpm i --msvs_version=2013

Release using npm run release-win --msvs_version=2013 (x64) or npm run release-win-ia32 --msvs_version=2013 (ia32)

I have these questions:

It is not possible to install simply using npm install electron-printer?
To build I need to download the zip, extract it and only then follow your instructions, right?
If I have Win 10 (64 bits) and have installed visual studio community version 2015 do I have to use npm run release-win --msvs_version=2015?

These are basics questions, but i'm clueless right now...

Thanks for the help

doesn't work with Windows 7

Hi,

the published fork doesn't work with Windows 7. On Ubuntu it works, but only for Ubuntu. If i create the Windows Program-Files with Ubuntu, i get errors with this printer library. On Windows, npm stucks and makes a few errors... Can you publish precompiled sources for windows?
