Cups IPP

CUPS Implementation of IPP - PHP Client API

CUPS (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.

Install via Composer

You can install the component using Composer.

composer require smalot/cups-ipp

Then, require the vendor/autoload.php file to enable the autoloading mechanism provided by Composer. Otherwise, your application won't be able to find the classes of this component.

Requirements

This library use unix sock connection: unix:///var/run/cups/cups.sock

First of all, check if you have correct access to this file: /var/run/cups/cups.sock

Implementation

List printers

<?php

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Smalot\Cups\Builder\Builder;
use Smalot\Cups\Manager\PrinterManager;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\Client;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\ResponseParser;

$client = new Client();
$builder = new Builder();
$responseParser = new ResponseParser();

$printerManager = new PrinterManager($builder, $client, $responseParser);
$printers = $printerManager->getList();

foreach ($printers as $printer) {
    echo $printer->getName().' ('.$printer->getUri().')'.PHP_EOL;
}

List all printer's jobs

<?php

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Smalot\Cups\Builder\Builder;
use Smalot\Cups\Manager\JobManager;
use Smalot\Cups\Manager\PrinterManager;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\Client;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\ResponseParser;

$client = new Client();
$builder = new Builder();
$responseParser = new ResponseParser();

$printerManager = new PrinterManager($builder, $client, $responseParser);
$printer = $printerManager->findByUri('ipp://localhost:631/printers/HP-Photosmart-C4380-series');

$jobManager = new JobManager($builder, $client, $responseParser);
$jobs = $jobManager->getList($printer, false, 0, 'completed');

foreach ($jobs as $job) {
    echo '#'.$job->getId().' '.$job->getName().' - '.$job->getState().PHP_EOL;
}

Create and send a new job

<?php

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Smalot\Cups\Builder\Builder;
use Smalot\Cups\Manager\JobManager;
use Smalot\Cups\Manager\PrinterManager;
use Smalot\Cups\Model\Job;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\Client;
use Smalot\Cups\Transport\ResponseParser;

$client = new Client();
$builder = new Builder();
$responseParser = new ResponseParser();

$printerManager = new PrinterManager($builder, $client, $responseParser);
$printer = $printerManager->findByUri('ipp://localhost:631/printers/HP-Photosmart-C4380-series');

$jobManager = new JobManager($builder, $client, $responseParser);

$job = new Job();
$job->setName('job create file');
$job->setUsername('demo');
$job->setCopies(1);
$job->setPageRanges('1');
$job->addFile('./helloworld.pdf');
$job->addAttribute('media', 'A4');
$job->addAttribute('fit-to-page', true);
$result = $jobManager->send($printer, $job);
