- hombre_fatal 2y agoYeah, I'm surprised this works. I expected some complex printer-specific reverse engineered protocol.
- shakna 2y agoThe modern "protocol" is PDF. That's what everyone standardised on during the rise of smartphones and needing to have them able to print. PDF includes pretty much all the printer needs, like pagesize, colour palette, font information, etc. It's not the greatest format in the world... But everyone can shove in one of dozens of PDF parsing libraries without a lot of effort. So it happened.
