Congratulations Kas1e

I`ll join in :)

@skynet

ok,

Hopefully I manage to fix this in the next test version

@skynet

Try to open a jpeg or pdf and try to print, it should then create a preview and you should be able to print.

@eliyahu

Send me a mail: arild.aarbakk@lyse.net

@eliyahu

It was in the earliest versions, so I can add that feature back into them both.

@skynet

I have those outputs in shell to see what happens during printing, I need you to send me the output so I can see what is happening. please send it on mail.

Yes, that is right. Airprint will search network for compatible printers ( at the moment only ipp printers ) which will be added to AirPrint and saved. When you want to print, your selected printer will be used. DEVS:airprint.device, DEVS:Printers/AIRPRINT and the utility AirPrint itself should take care of the rest.

If you want to betatest, mail me: arild.aarbakk@lyse.net

Yes, this is due to my program supports only ipp at the moment, this is due to this protocol is well documented and is the best chance to support as many printers as possible. Most printers you buy today supports this protocol.

When finished and program is working fine with this protocol, I might add support for the other kanguages as well.

Yes, most new printers does not support direct ascii printing trough ipp, but most of them support raw printing still. So I can dump text to printers trough the raw printing port, if sending text trough ipp I need to convert to rasterfile first.

You are right in that converting text to graphics require a lot of information of fonts used etc.. And f.ex printing from notepad I haven’t found a way to retrieve font information. So my plan is to just use a predefined font and size at the moment. I am using IntuitionText for converting to bitmap, which makes the work easier for me.

Most ipp printers I have used, does not support PS, but the formats they usually support is pwg-raster and jpeg formats.

If GS this is updated trough enhancer that would be great, and then I probably haven’t installed it, because my version of GS sometimes fails converting pdf’s.

When testing and prigramming this printer device this is for me what looks like is happening:When printing from AmiPDF or AmiGS it sends command to GS trough amiga_printer device of GS and communicates trough Exec msg, GS creates graphics trough printer.device which then again is sent to the selecter printer driver. This driver decides what to do with with the graphics, in my case it is converted to raster format, this will then be transferred to a new device, in my case airprint.device this device sends it to printer in the correct format.

Status of airprint is that it is still under development and testing. So far you can print pdf, ghostscript and jpeg files, also printing from Odyssey. Also supports ssl now. Not bugfree yet, but works ok for most users, but experienced some crashes for some.

Progress has been going somewhat slow due to little spare time to work on it, but working on it as soon as I have time 😀

At the same time I have also been working on Airscan.

Added ssl support to that as well + some other features, this version is soon ready and will be uploaded to os4depot this month.

@AlfredOne

Received your last mail, thank you. Sending you a first (very basic) test version this weekend, thanks for joining. 👍

@AlfredOne

Send me a mail: arild.aarbakk@lyse.net

Airprint should work as well for you.

@McFly

That look amazing 👌 I will for sure add these graphics to the programs, thanx McFly 👏

@Raziel

1) When adding scanner the first time, the last version selects the scanners default values, and if you change these they get saved on exit. Are you thinking to be able to save several preselected settings for the same scanner?

2) Yes I can add a tooltype for what program to open when scan is done.

3) yes I can add that feature.

Also working on ssl support now so that all can be able to use it, some scanners only supports ssl.

All progress we do on Airscan will also benefit on airprint, so this time spent is well worth the effort and time 😀

@Raziel

I am very relieved that it was a minor issue, reminds me to add some better error handling in my software 👍

You are on my mailing list for testing the printer.device, so enjoy christmas 😀

@mcleppa

Check mail for version 1.27A

@Raziel

This is good news, I will eventually stop using RAM:T as temporary storage. I will send you a new version that creates temporary files in RAM instead, hopefully we got it.

You should be able to search for your scanner as well now, can you check if this works?

@Raziel

And when you change settings they will be stored on exit. The program will also increment with filenumber for each scan, so it won´t overwrite the other files.

@Raziel

Strange, my program stores temporary files in "RAM:T/AirScan" folder, can you check if this folder is created. It should be there when you are using the program.

@Raziel

Check mail, Icould read that xml settings file here and created a settingsfile you can copy to your Airscan directory, and hopefully you can use your scanner. But I will make a debugging version to see what is wrong and send you later.
