What is PHP PrintIPP ?
PrintIPP is a PHP class (PHP5) which implements an IPP client (Internet Printing Protocol).
PrintIPP, in it's current state, is able to print both strings and files, and cancel jobs, as doing all RFC2911 operations. There is also a CUPS™ sub-class for it's specific stuff.
PrintIPP is distributed under GNU LGPL. Thus, it is a Free Software.
PrintIPP est une classe PHP (PHP5) implémentant un client IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
PrintIPP, dans son état actuel, permet l'impression sur un serveur IPP de fichiers ou de chaînes (strings), et l'annulation des jobs. Toutes les fonctions de la RFC2911 sont implémentées. Est également disponible une sous-classe CUPS™, avec des opérations spécifiques à ce serveur.
PrintIPP est distribué sous licence GNU LGPL. C'est donc un Logiciel Libre
What is Tiny PHP PrintIPP ?
Tiny PHP PrintIPP is a simplified version, with only one operation: PrintJob
With it's embedded http backend, it counts only 76kBytes.
Memory cost
PrintIPP costs ~1.5MBytes with all extensions loaded, while Tiny PrintIPP costs ~520kBytes.
After 42 tests in very verbose debugging mode, PrintIPP is as heavy as 2,690,816 Bytes. In quite mode, memory consumption is 1,671,408 Bytes.
Memory costs is measured with furnished http backend.
status
limitations
- Large files are not handled by version 0.6b. If you need to print large files, use version 0.6a or 0.7 or up.
- It is currently tested only with CUPS. Please report if it is working with other servers to phpprintipp@nongnu.org
- SSL/TLS works with CUPS but is not capable of upgrade from standard http connection. If you need TLS with CUPS-1.1, please set up "SSLPort" to a dedicated port in cupsd.conf.
depends
It depends on http_class, which is shipped with. http_class is in early state of developpement, so you can use:
- "CLASS: HTTP protocol client" (currently, do not handle large files),
- "HTTP protocol client" can be found at
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3.html.
License: BSD. - "CLASS: Simple Authentication and Security Layer" for authentication.
- SASL backend can be found at
