Airprint

Printer utility for Amiga OS4

Airprint is a printer utility based on ipp protocol.

Installation:

  1. After unarchiving, use the installer script, AirPrint will be installed in Sys:Prefs/Airprint directory.
  2. Printer prefs will now open automatically. Select airprint as printer driver and airprint.device as Port Device. Save and quit
  3. Open the Airprint utility from Sys:Prefs/Airprint directory and search for your printer and add it.
  4. There is a settings tab in airprint where you select your spooler directory. This is by default set to 'T:Airprint_Spooler'

If you are going to print large documents you should change this to a location on your hard drive, but should be ok where it is for normal prints.

You should now be ready to use it for printing. It should support printing from:

  1. notepad
  2. AmiPDF
  3. AmiGS
  4. Odyssey
  5. IBrowse (But follow their documentation for enabling fonts for printing)
  6. Multiview
  7. etc.

From airprint app itself you can open pdf, jpeg and text files for printing.

Dont expect it to work perfectly or even at all for the moment, but every issues I hope you can bring up here and I expect many issues to arise in the beginning.
