Axional JavaScript library provides a CUPS client interface to interact with CUPS print servers.
CUPS (formerly an acronym for Common UNIX Printing System) is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems which allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer.
CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. It also provides the traditional command line interfaces for the System V and Berkeley print systems, and provides support for the Berkeley print system's Line Printer Daemon protocol and limited support for the server message block (SMB) protocol. System administrators can configure the device drivers which CUPS supplies by editing text files in Adobe's PostScript Printer Description (PPD) format. There are a number of user interfaces for different platforms that can configure CUPS, and it has a built-in web-based interface. CUPS is free software, provided under the Apache License.
A machine that sends jobs to another machine for printing is called a client and the machine that accepts the job is called a print server. A client can also be a print server if it is directly connected to a printer.
One of the biggest advantages of CUPS is that it allows you to set up a universal print server which can work with almost all printer connection types and most of the printing protocol. The following figure shows that CUPS doesn't only accept print jobs from a local application, but also support the clients working on different platforms.
1 CUPS client
CupsClient class allows to connect to a local or remote CUPS Server, discover and manage queues, print data and manage printing jobs.
| Return | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PrintRequestResult | print(String printerName, String data) | . |
| PrintRequestResult | print(String printerName, Object data) | . |
| PrintRequestResult | print(String printerName, String data, Consumer configurator) | . |
| PrintRequestResult | print(String printerName, Object data, Consumer configurator) | . |
| boolean | holdJob(int jobID) | . |
| boolean | releaseJob(int jobID) | . |
| boolean | cancelJob(int jobID) | . |
| List<PrintJobAttributes> | getJobs(String printerName) | . |
| List<CupsPrinter> | getPrinters() | . |
| CupsPrinter | getPrinter(String printerName) | . |
You can create a CUPS client instance by providing it's host address. By default,
port 631 and os user will be used.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
console.log(cups);
</script>

2 List printers
To list printers call listPrinters method.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20', 631);
// List printers
for (var p of cups.getPrinters()) {
console.log(p);
console.log("URL:" + p.getPrinterURL() +

3.3 Get printers info
You can generate a CUPS printer list producing a table using a ResultSet.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
// for each printer store all it's attributes as an array
var rows = [];
for (var p of cups.getPrinters()) {
rows.push([
p.getName(),
p.getDescription(),
p.getLocation(),
p.getPrinterMakeAndModel(),
p.getPrinterState(),
p.getPrinterStateReasons(),
]);
}
// Return as a resultset
return new Ax.rs.Reader().build(rows, options => {
options.setColumnNames([
"Queue name",
"Description",
"Location",
"Make and Model",
"State",
"Reasons"
]
);
});

4 Sending print jobs
Once created a CUPS client connection object, you can send a text or an stream to one of the printer queues served by this CUPS server.
You should use the print method which support printing a String or a Stream (file or resource).
4.1 Sending a string
Ax.net.CupsClient object uses method print(String queue, String data) to send a String (text or binary data) to the cups queue.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var status = cups.print("BROTHER_BN", "Hello\nworld");
console.log(status);
</script>
4.2 Sending a file
Ax.net.CupsClient object uses method print(String queue, Object data) to send an object (file or stream) to the cups queue.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var status = cups.print(
"BROTHER_BN",
new Ax.net.URL('https://bitbucket.org/deister/axional-docs-resources/raw/master/PDF/sample.pdf')
);
console.log(status);
</script>
Printer-job=946 status=0x0000, description=(successful-ok)
5 Configuring print
When sendind a job to print you can configure the print job.
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var status = cups.print(
"BROTHER_BN",
new Ax.net.URL('https://bitbucket.org/deister/axional-docs-resources/raw/master/PDF/sample.pdf'),
options => {
options.setCopies(1);

For example, if you want to send to a printer raw data, you can use setAttributes to set document-format to RAW:
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var attr = {};
attr.document_format = "application/vnd.cups-raw";
var status = cups.print(
"BROTHER_BN",
new Ax.net.URL('https://bitbucket.org/deister/axional-docs-resources/raw/master/PDF/sample.pdf'),
options => {
options.setPageRanges("1-1");
options.setAttributes(attr);
}
);
console.log(status);
</script>
6 Printer Queues
You can query print queue of any Printer
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var rows = [];
for (var job of cups.getJobs("BROTHER_BN")) {
rows.push([
job.getJobID(),
job.getJobName(),
job.getUserName(),
job.getJobState(),
job.getJobURL(),
job.getPrinterURL(),
job.getSize(),
job.getPagesPrinted(),
job.getJobCreateTime(),
job.getJobCompleteTime()
]);
}
// Return as a resultset
return new Ax.rs.Reader().build(rows, options => {
options.setColumnNames([
"JobID",
"Job Name",
"User Name",
"JobState",
"Job URL",
"Printer URL",
"Size",
"Pages Printed",
"JobCreateTime",
"JobCompleteTime"
]
);
});
</script>
getJobState() returns current state of a job. According to standard CUPS implementation, status values can be any of this:
- pending
- pending-held
- processing
- processing-stopped
- canceled
- aborted
- completed
Also, jobs can be cancelled, holded or resumed by using CUPS Client functions. Next example shows, how to cancel all pending printer jobs:
Copy
<script>
var cups = new Ax.net.CupsClient('192.168.100.20');
var rows = [];
for (var job of cups.getJobs("BROTHER_BN")) {
if (job.getJobState() == "pending" || job.getJobState() == "pending-held") {
var res = cups.cancelJob(job.getJobID());
if (res) {
console.log("Job " + job.getJobID() + " cancelled");
} else {
console.log("Cannot cancel Job " + job.getJobID());
}
}
var ok = cups.holdJob(job.getJobID());
var ok = cups.releaseJob(job.getJobID());
}
</script>
