I have an linux app that uses cups for printing, but I've noticed that if I print and then quit my app right away my printout never appears. So I assume that my app has to wait for it to actually come out of the printer before quitting, so does anyone know how to tell when it's finished printing?? I'm using libcups to print a postscript...
I have a cross platform app and for my Linux and Mac versions it generates a postscript file for printing reports and then prints them with CUPS. It works for simple characters and images but I would like to have the ability to embed a true type font directly into the postscript file. Does anyone know how to do this?? Also I can encode ...
I am making a copy of my RIP for CUPS(pstoraster.I wanted to know the type of the object rendered using ghostscript. Does anyone have this idea ...
When using the lp -o orientation-requested=6 in CUPS to print a postscript file, the first page is reversed 180 degrees and then the next page is back to 0 orientation. Third page has the 180 degree rotation and fourth page back to 0 and so on. I need each page in the file to be reversed 180 degrees. Any suggestions on what to try ...
I would like to add custom page sizes to my printer's .ppd (PostScript printer definition) file. What do I have to add to get a new page size working properly? ...
I have a postscript file and want it to be printed on a IPP capable device (or CUPS server). What is the minimal code and dependencies I could get away with to do that. Using LPR or libcups gives me lot of cross-plattform dependencies. So my first approach was to implement a minimal subset of IPP (the protocol used by cups and many mode...
I need to know each time a Mac print job is created/completed, plus some information about that job (what was printed, pages, copies, etc). The best method I've come up with thus far is to use kqueue() on /var/spool/cups/ and then parse the c##### files as they're created, but I'm wondering if there's a better way. ...
Given a PDF, how can one get the layout mode of a PDF (or relative width/height) using a PHP lib or linux command line tool? Using http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp%5Fdpage.php?aiocp%5Fdp=tcpdf which can set this variable on new PDFs, but for existing pdfs from adobe. Thought of converting pdfs to ps, or using gs in some other way ...
We have a SAAS application where reporting and other print jobs are generated on our application servers and then sent to CUPS print queues. The queue prints to printers at the client sites via IP printing; so far everything works fine. However, we have a new requirement with a new customer. They want a print job to print to the pri...

Hi, I am using Mac OS X 10.6. I wrote a program which will add and remove printers to a CUPS server using libcups. It works, but now I am considering the security aspects. This program takes a user name and password to authenticate on the CUPS server. Whatever user name and password I use, it works as long as it is valid on the syst...
I'm writing a print system that puts a simplified interface on top of CUPS. Users drop jobs into one queue, the system processes them in various ways (statistics, page quotas, etc.), and then offers the user a web interface to dispatch the job to one of multiple printers. Since there may be several user kiosks, an admin station, etc.,...
Hello I have printer in CUPS that due driver problems (hp 1010) form time to time goes into pause. I would like to write a shell script that will be once per hour resuming printer in cups. But I have no idea after googling for couple of minutes how to resume printer from shell command line. Regards Stan ...
I've got a CUPS job control file (these can be found at /var/spool/cups/cnnnnn). I need to get the actual dimensions of the print that was made. This is the way I've figured out to do it: Get the paper name using the media attribute. (e.g. Letter) Get the printer uri from the printer-uri attribute. (e.g. ipp://localhost/printers/M...
I set the quotas both ways(though lpadmin and by editing printers.conf) and neither seem to work(i did restart the daemon) but print requests are still granted with no error. What is wrong?(i am running ubuntu linux 9.04) ...
Is there a version of the CUPS server available for Windows? Looking at the CUPS source code it seems it is ready for Visual Studio compilation, but I did not find any trace of an actual supported package. I'd like to set up a CUPS server on Windows so that I can print form Linux/MacOSX/Win clients to printers I set up on this server. ...
Sorry for my english! I'm using Debian squeeze and for an assignement, i have create 2 virtual pdf cups printers. Both are working very well. To test the different administion command; i try to disable one of the printer and move his queue file to the second one. I'm able to do it easily. Now, i wish to write a bash script that wil tes...
