Printer API

Ever wanted to upload a PDF from your web app and just print it? Here's the solution ;)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo
2. yarn
3. Edit the .env file. (See below for details)
4. yarn run build
5. yarn start

How to edit the .env file

PRINTER_NAME=<THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_PRINTER> (or delete the key completely to use your 'default' printer)
PORT=<PORT> (Default is 3000, change it as you wish)

How to perform the request

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:3000/print' \
--form 'pdf=@<path_to_file>'

Troubleshooting

I've only tested it on a Linux system (Ubuntu), and most probably it won't work on Windows. Also, it won't run (at least out of the box) on Docker.

Thanks to @thiagoelg for maintaining the npm module to interface with the printer.
