CUPS drivers for FGL-based printers
===================================
This project provides CUPS drivers for ticket printers that work with the "Friendly Ghost Language" FGL.
Theoretically, this should be basically all ticket printers from BOCA, Practical Automation, and others, although we
obviously did not test all of them. We also only include PPD specification files for two series from Practical
Automation, but it is straightforward to add more. We are looking forward to your contributions!
Supported models
----------------
* Practical Automation ITL-2002 series
* Practical Automation ITL-2003 series
Tested models
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Practical Automation uITL+2003CF
Known bugs
----------
* Printing from GUI applications might not work and we don't know, why. Printing the same file with ``lpr`` almost
always works.
Installation
------------
Debian
^^^^^^
You can install our package like this::
# apt-get install apt-transport-https
# curl https://download.pretix.eu/apt/repo.key | apt-key add -
# echo "deb https://download.pretix.eu/cups-fgl-printers ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pretix.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get install cups-fgl-printers
Arch Linux
^^^^^^^^^^
Our package is available from the Arch User Repository::
# yay -S cups-fgl-printers-git
Development
-----------
You can compile the ``.drv`` files to ``.ppd`` files by executing::
make ppds
in the project's main directory.
Ubuntu/Debian package
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To build the Ubuntu/Debian package, execute::
./packaging/build_deb.sh
If you are on linux, but not on a debian-based distribution that lacks the ``dpkg`` command,
a docker image will be downloaded and executed to get the debian toolchain. There is a similar
command ``build_deb_repo.sh`` that you probably won't need, except if you are myself reading
this in a couple of years.
