I couldn't find a license for this project. I'm hoping for something like bsd or mit since I would like to copy parts of it.

Thanks for this package, am running into some trouble getting the list of printers.

Here is my code

var printer = require("./node_modules/printer/lib"),
    util = require('util');
console.log("installed printers:\n"+util.inspect(printer.getPrinters(), {colors:true, depth:10}));

The error message

pi@pi-rasp /var/www/nodejs $ node printc

/var/www/nodejs/node_modules/printer/lib/printer.js:57

how can i print .txt file?

have any Example ?

Hi,

Is it possible to send esc/pos commands to a printer with your module? If yes, could you please provide an example?

best,

Would be nice to add printFile method.
an example is here: https://github.com/shipstation/node-printer

Is it possible to create a gitter room in order to discuss, have a advice from each other ?

Thank you
Thomas

Trying to install from node-webkit but failing. Unless I overlooked it I couldn’t find the same problem in other issues. Any ideas?

npm install printer win8 error .....

npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">= 0.8.0 && < 0.9.0"} (current:
{"node":"v0.10.28","npm":"1.4.9"})

How will you be licensing this thing? I hope I'm not overlooking, but I didn't see anything mentioned yet.

Tried the getPrinters example with linux but the only thing I get when I run it is error undefined symbol: cupsGetDests, do you have any idea what might be causing this?

var printer = require("../lib");

printer.printDirect({data:"中文測試" // or simple String: "some text"
, printer:'櫃台' // printer name
, type: 'TEXT' // type: RAW, TEXT, PDF, JPEG, .. depends on platform
, success:function(jobID){
console.log("sent to printer with ID: "+jobID);
}
, error:function(err){console.log(err);}
});

the 中文測試 will print "@$@%?@#$@"
how can i do ???

I have to get the default printer name in a project and show it as user's default choice.
How can I achieve that using node-printer?

If there do have a way to get that, please tell me how. If not, let getPrinter(printerName) method return the default printer when printerName isn't provided maybe a good idea.

Thanks a lot.

win API: EnumPrintProcessorDatatypes

Hi,
Is there a way to specify the output size?
I've tried printing both a PDF file and text. Printing works fine, but for some reason it doesn't fill the whole page. Instead it just fills a small rectangle on the page (see image).

Is this something I need to set in the printer settings in my OS?
(I'm on Mac OSX Yosemite)

I tried install from npm but it was an old version. Then I tried
npm install https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer.git -g�

I have a Epson Stylus-DX7400 connected by Usb.
When I run (in Node 0.10) raw_printer example, Gnome notifies is sending job to printer and doesn't report any error (in fact, example shows in terminal jobID without problem). But printer doesn't do anything (data light doesn't blink, neither). What could I do to investigate the reason of this?
Thanks

Hi When i try to print a raw data am getting the script does not show any error, and the print queue shows the print job. But nothing gets printed.

Code

var printer = require("printer");
var printerName = "HP LaserJet P1007" ;

console.log("---------------------")
console.log(printer.getSupportedPrintFormats(printerName))
console.log("---------------------")
console.log(printer.getSupportedJobCommands(printerName))
console.log("---------------------")
printer.printDirect({
data:new Buffer("I will be written"),
printer: printerName,
type: "RAW" ,
success:function(jobID){
console.log("Job sent with ID: " + jobID)
var jobInfo = printer.getJob(printerName, jobID)
console.log("Job info:" + JSON.stringify(jobInfo, null, 2))
},
error:function(err){console.log(err)}
})

Not sure why the C++ linking step fails, and I cannot find any further information.

The README.md said:

BUT! when I try to install it:

I'd try to run:

The program 'cups-config' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev

so??

I'm getting only the printDirect function exposed when requiring the module.

This is the output of the module when installing:

Add possibility to return default printer.
Also would be nice to print to default printer if the printer name is not specified.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd144876(v=vs.85).aspx
http://cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.7/api-cups.html?INDEX=0&Q=Default#cupsGetDefault

If CUPS server has no default printer defined, cupsGetDefault2 return NULL instead of empty string.

Workaround: in node_printer_posix.cc

MY_NODE_MODULE_CALLBACK(getDefaultPrinterName)
{
MY_NODE_MODULE_HANDLESCOPE;
const char * defaultDest = cupsGetDefault2(CUPS_HTTP_DEFAULT);
if( defaultDest == NULL ) {
defaultDest = "";
}
MY_NODE_MODULE_RETURN_VALUE(V8_STRING_NEW_UTF8(defaultDest));
}

i use npm install printer is not work

and

i download all file and use npm install also not work .....

how can i do ???

ps. i use in windows8 is ok ~~~but now i want use in raspberry pi (arm)
i use RASPBIAN Debian Wheezy os

hi,tojocky
i am new to print on linux, i am not know ,is there a way to read from printer?

your lib/printer.js#L19 said:

/** Get supported print format for printDirect
 */
module.exports.getSupportedPrintFormats = printer_helper.getSupportedPrintFormats;

I am trying to get default printer on mac osx but it's throwing segmentation fault

i am running https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tojocky/node-printer/master/examples/getDefaultPrinterName.js

➜  node-printer  node defaultPrinter.js
[1]    51859 segmentation fault  node defaultPrinter.js

Any help would be appreciated

There is no such function defined for windows version, so it does not build!

$ node print_raw.js
[Error: Something wrong in printDirect]

Here's the link to the PDF:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4xBPiAxQ7h5STZPWjlGREJKd0k/view?usp=sharing

We used MS Word to create a PDF and that printed fine. The above PDF was generated using a PHP library called FPDF:

I'm using this code to print it. When we attempt to print the above PDF, the printer will get the data, but it will not print it.

printer.printDirect({
    data:  fs.readFileSync('./doc.pdf')
    , printer: 'Ricoh Aficio MP C2500 PCL5c' // printer name, that does exist
    , type: 'RAW'
    , success: function (jobID)  {
        console.log("sent to printer with ID: " + jobID);
    }
    , error: function (err) {
        throw new Error(err);
    }
});

Thanks!!

what's wrong?

How can I make bold text, change font, increase font-size, etc? If it's done using the "raw" type, is there a guide for that?

Thank you!

Is there any possibility to add a new printer? I really need this functionality, but before I start implementing C++ stuff, I better ask.

HI
I have got some troubles on trying to get printers list, the method getPrinters does not return all the printers available on my computer.
After some investigations i found that the problem was related to the value of flags parameter passed in EnumPrintersW(flags, .......) see at line 407 in node_printer_win.cc file.
Indeed when i test getPrinters method on specifying the flags parameter like :
DWORD flags = PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL | PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS;
It works perfectly.
Could you make this change please ?
Thank you

I try to print a jpeg image and i get a error.
The node are sending the data to printer, but the printer get a error about "Filter".

The "text" printing is working.

My code:
var printer = require('printer'),
util = require('util');

printer.printDirect({data:"teste.jpeg" // or simple String: "some text"
  , printer:'EPSON_PictureMate_PM_225' // printer name
  , type: 'JPEG' // type: RAW, TEXT, PDF, JPEG, .. depends on platform
  , success:function(jobID){
    console.log("sent to printer with ID: "+jobID);
  }
  , error:function(err){console.log(err);}
});

I keep getting this error:
node_modules/printer/build/Release/node_printer.node: undefined symbol: cupsCreateJob

I do have the lastest libcups-dev installed, tho?

Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/node_printer.node'

node -v is new

Overview

Untrusted input passed in to the printer attribute of the first argument to printDirect module can allow for command injection. This may be unexpected behavior for the caller.

Confirmed on version 0.0.1

Confirmed vulnerable. Examples:

var printer = require("printer");
printer.printDirect({data:"print from Node.JS"
, printer:"`ping google.com`"
, type: "TEXT"
, success:function(){
console.log("ok");
}
, error:function(err){console.log(err);}
});

Recommendation

• If you do not need to execute within a subshell, it's recommended to
  usechild_process.execFile and pass in the arguments array.

If I hop into the node console, and just do a simple

var printer = require('printer');
printer.getPrinters();

I get the array of all the printers, but when I do the exact same thing inside of node-webkit I get this error:

I'm on OSX 10.9.5. Any ideas on what I should look into?

Hi,when i use this moudle in my node project,i want to find out the way to use default printer without send a specific printer_name, but i hava no idea how to do?Could please tell me how?

Hey there,

The latest commit (0b0b881) / 0.0.5 has introduced a bug where I am unable to compile on (ARM/Raspbian) Nodejs 0.12.0. Node-gyp reports that HTTP_STATUS_CONTINUE is not declared.

0.0.4 on NPM works fine.

Not an advanced Linux/Nodejs guy (yet) so apologies for any oversight on my part.

PS: great work. Your work saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you for doing this!
