Hi Attah, sorry for my late Answer. I read your E-Mail late because it was not my main mail Address. correction of capitalization and some spelling mistakes. I have written many of the words in lower case because they are not nouns in German.  But you are right, at the beginning of a sentence capitalize. 

The terms I did not know the translation and found nothing about that are: 
- Line 753: bi-level. I found "Doppelstock" or "zweistufige verarbeitung" but i don´t think that is correct for that.
- Line 593: pending-held. I found "Ausstehend gehalten" but it sounds crazy for me.

- Line 651: "...Druckern und CUBS-Instanzen..." I found no other Translation for CUPS-instances so I think it is correct. I correct it to "...Druckern und CUPS-Instanzen...".

SeaPrint

Network printing for Sailfish OS

SeaPrint icon

Print PDFs and images over IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).

Most, but not all, IPP-capable printers are supported.

A minority of printers support only PCL and/or their own proprietary formats, these are not supported.

Format support

In order to work with more printers, SeaPrint can use poppler-utils (pdftoppm, pdftops, pdftocairo) to convert PDFs.

For PDFs or plaintext, your printer needs to support one of the following formats:

  • PDF
  • Postscript (needs poppler-utils)
  • PWG-raster (needs poppler-utils)
  • URF-raster (needs poppler-utils)

For Postscript, your printer needs to support Postscript natively.

For printing "Office" files, like .doc(x) and odt, you need to install calligraconverter (from the calligra package in Sailfish OS 4.2 onwards). Then the printer support follows that of PDF (but poppler-utils is mandatory).

For images, your printer needs to support one of the following formats:

  • PNG
  • JPEG
  • PWG-raster
  • URF-raster
  • PDF
  • Postscript (needs poppler-utils)

For printing JPEG images, transferring the unaltered image has priority and the printer does the scaling. Other image formats are lossless and SeaPrint does scale-and-rotate to fit, so JPEG has lowest prio there.

Printers with any of these IPP certifications/sub-standards should likely be supported:

  • IPP Everywhere
  • AirPrint
  • Mopria
  • WiFi Direct
