Interface with printers through Powershell
If you are installing from npm and crate.io package registry, make sure the mayor and minor versions for both packages are the same, otherwise, the API may not match.
Crate: https://crates.io/crates/tauri-plugin-printer
Install latest version:
cargo add tauri-plugin-printer
Or add the following to your Cargo.toml for spesific version:
src-tauri/Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
tauri-plugin-printer = { version = "1.0.10" }You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:
pnpm add tauri-plugin-printer
# or
npm add tauri-plugin-printer
# or
yarn add tauri-plugin-printerFirst you need to register the core plugin with Tauri:
src-tauri/src/main.rs
fn main() {
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_printer::init())
.run(tauri::generate_context!())
.expect("error while running tauri application");
}Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:
import {printers, print, print_file, jobs, job, restart_job, pause_job, resume_job, remove_job} from "tauri-plugin-printer";
// get list printers
const list = await printers()
// get printer by id
const list = await printers(id)
