# SeaPrint
|
|
Network printing for Sailfish OS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
(obviously SeaPrint is unaffiliated and uncertified)
