LPrint - A Label Printer Application
====================================
LPrint implements printing for a variety of common label and receipt printers
connected via network or USB. Features include:
- A single executable handles spooling, status, and server functionality.
- Multiple printer support.
- Each printer implements an IPP Everywhere™ print service and is compatible
with the driverless printing support in Android™, Chrome OS™, iOS®, Linux®,
macOS®, and Windows® 10/11 clients.
- Each printer can support options such as label modes, tear-off offsets,
media tracking, media offset, print darkness, resolution, roll selection,
and speed.
- Each printer can directly print "raw", Apple/PWG Raster, and/or PNG files.
- Each printer automatically recovers from out-of-media, power loss, and
disconnected/bad cable issues.
For more information, see the file "DOCUMENTATION.md", the man pages in the
"man" directory, and/or the LPrint project page at
.

Requirements
------------
LPrint depends on:
- A POSIX-compliant "make" program (both GNU and BSD make are known to work),
- A C99 compiler (both Clang and GCC are known to work),
- [PAPPL](https://www.msweet.org/pappl) 1.2 or later.
- [CUPS](https://openprinting.github.io/cups) 2.4 or later or
[libcups](https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcups) 3.0 or later.
Supported Printers
------------------
The following printers are currently supported:
- DYMO LabelWriter printers
- Seiko Instruments SLP printers
- TSPL/TSPL2 printers such as the Rollo X1038
- Zebra/Eltron EPL2 printers
- Zebra ZPL printers
Additional drivers for Brother PT/QL and Zebra CPCL printers can be enabled
using the `--enable-experimental` configure option, however they are untested
and/or not fully functional. Other label printers will be added as time and
access to printers permits.
Standards
---------
Through PAPPL, LPrint implements PWG 5100.14-2020: IPP Everywhere™ and the IPP
Label Printing Extensions v1.0 for each printer, and has a partial
implementation of PWG 5100.22-2019: IPP System Service v1.0 for managing the
print queues and default printer.
