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
For PDFs or plaintext, your printer needs to support one of the following formats:
- Postscript
- PWG-raster
- URF-raster
For Postscript, your printer needs to support Postscript natively. (SeaPrint just sends it as-is)
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.
For images, your printer needs to support one of the following formats:
- PNG
- JPEG
- PWG-raster
- URF-raster
- Postscript
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 and derivative standards should likely be supported:
- IPP Everywhere
- AirPrint
- Mopria
- WiFi Direct
(obviously SeaPrint is unaffiliated and uncertified)
