I'd love to print to a Cat Printer from an iOS device via AirPrint. I see a ton of AirPlay to CUPS projects on Github, but I'm not quite sure how CUPS would be configured to simply call the Cat Printer python script. Any pointers on how to leverage CUPS or should I simply focus on an AirPrint server that directly calls Cat Printer?
- bo0tzz 5y agoI would take a look at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Backends_to_Print_with_CUPS https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Backends_to_Print.... Going off a quick glance at the code examples, I think it might be fairly straightforward to hook into CUPS. https://github.com/jsmeix/cups-backends https://github.com/jsmeix/cups-backends also has some useful looking tools.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoIt’s pretty easy to add backends to CUPS. They are just shell scripts. I’ve written a few ruby ones. Here’s an example of one I adapted for my own purposes: https://ofosos.org/2018/10/22/printing-to-remarkable-cloud-from-cups/ https://ofosos.org/2018/10/22/printing-to-remarkable-cloud-f...
