  printer: "Zebra",
};

print("assets/pdf-sample.pdf", options).then(console.log);

Here is an example with a few print settings. It will print pages 1, 3, and 5, and scale them so that they fit into the printable area of the paper.

import { print } from "pdf-to-printer";

const options = {
  printer: "Zebra",
  pages: "1-3,5",
  scale: "fit",
};

print("assets/pdf-sample.pdf", options).then(console.log);

.getPrinters() => Promise<Printer[]>

A function to get a list of available printers.

Not possible to print when printer is in black/white mode

Describe the bug
I only have one black ink cartridge in the printer. What makes it impossible for me to print a black page. If I only allow black and white printing in the print settings, the print job cannot be started because the program wants to print in color.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Remove the color ink from your printer.
2. Try to print a pdf with only black content.
3. You will get an empty sheet "printed".

Expected behavior
If i want to print a black page, the pinter should be able to print it without color ink

Run ESLint on __test__ folder

Existing lint script runs ESLint on src, webpack.production.config.js, and examples folders only. The solution might be adding __test__ and __mock__ folders to that script as well.

Print process fails when a printer name is given .

Describe the bug
When I am trying to print to a any specific printer name (using the -print-to arguement), that exist and is installed in my system, the childprocess fials. However using the exact same command that was generated, directly through cmd, it works as expected.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. add a specific printer name to the printer options
2. try to print a document
3. See error

Expected behavior
Expected result was to print the document using the printer that was provided

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• NodeJS v12.16.2

Additional context

i have tried to add the printer name in the options like this

    print(options) {
        const printer = this.settings.printer || 'default';
        if (printer === 'default') {
            ptp.getDefaultPrinter()
                .then(printerResp => {
                    return Promise.resolve({
                        ...options,
                        printer: printerResp
                    })
                })
                .then(options => {
                    ptp.print(this.path, options)
                })
                .catch(console.error);
        } else {
            ptp.print(this.path, {
                ...options,
                printer: printer
            })
                .catch(console.error);
        }
    }

in this function i am checking if the name of the given printer is explicitely "default" in this case i am using the getDefautlfPrinter method and then i am using its response as the printer name. The response always gives the name of the Default printer as expected, and then print works just fine.

However if I give an explicit printer name to the option as it it seems on the second part of the conditional, i get the following error

(I am omiting the full path to the module and the input pdf file, for the shake of clarity)

Error: Command failed: C:\...\pdf-to-printer\dist\SumatraPDF.exe -print-to LEXLUTHOR -print-settings "fit,paper=A5" -silent C:\...\123print.pdf

}

the generated command.

'C:\\...\\pdf-to-printer\\dist\\SumatraPDF.exe -print-to LEXLUTHOR -print-settings "fit,paper=A5" -silent C:\\...\\123print.pdf

If I copy the command and paste directly into cmd, and execute it from there it works as expected.

This might be some problem with my system as well, since I haven't seen this issue here. It might even have to do with SumtraPdf. However any guidance on what might cause this would be very helpful

__dirname in electron&vue (webpack) context not working

I am having a tough time to get pdf silent print working in our electron-vue app.
The reason is, that pdf-to-printer is using __dirname in pdf-to-printer/src/win32/print.js, and in webpack context, this does not return the expected path as stated here:
https://simulatedgreg.gitbooks.io/electron-vue/content/en/main-process.html#on-the-subject-of-using-dirname--filename

const getCommand = (pdf, options) => {
  let command = path.join(__dirname, "SumatraPDF.exe");

  command = fixPathForAsarUnpack(command);
  command = `"${command}"`;

__dirname returns instead of the path to the module, just the path to the electron app root in dev mode (electron:serve) and to this in bundles app mode (electron:build)

In production I get this error:
'"C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Programs\my-electron-app\resources\app.asar.unpacked\SumatraPDF.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Possible solution
I suggest, that you enable the user of your module to hand over the path to the Executable via another parameter or option.

Alternatives I've considered
I tried to move SumatraPDF.exe with different attempts. The last one was to add an extraFIles section into the electronBuild configuration. But then, the SumatraPDF.exe ends up in the App root or resource folder, but not in resource/app.asar
Because electron-vue abstracts so much away, it is not easy to add stuff to webpack or electronBuilder config. The configuration options are sometimes not so well documented, and because I'm working on a Mac, it takes ages in my Virtualbox Windows environment to build the app each time I change something.

Additional context
I wonder, why this is working for others. You code suggests, that you have tested, because you event have fixPathForAsarUnpack in place.

Cheers,
@matths

License question

Hi,
this project is licensed under MIT, but SumatraPDF executable is part of the repository with is GPLv3 as far as I can see.
How is this working out?

What do I need to do, when I want to use this package in a commercial electron shell application?

Printer name with space in it errors

Describe the bug
On windows platform, when there is a printer with a space in it's name, and you pass a printer, the command fails to run as it's not escaped with quotes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Rename printer with a space in it
2. Pass that printer name as returned by getPrinters()
3. Command that is produced doesn't run as there's a space.

Expected behavior
The printer name to be escaped with quotes on the commandline. I believe this is a similar error to the path of the file to print.

I know this isn't your main focus, but would be greatly appreciated fix. Thank you!

It's print both side of page, but i need single side of page.

How can i set single side print of a page? i change my printer driver setting that's ok one side print. but pdf-to-printer have no setting single side or double side print.
Please help me.

More options to print a PDF

I would like to know if there is a way to set more options (not just the printer name) to the 'print' function.

At the moment on windows, if I print a PDF manually the result is not the same if I use the 'print' function. I'm pretty sure this is related with the option 'fit to page'.

Is there a way to include this option together with the printer name ?

Setting Copies in the Win32 Options Array is ignored.

So, i set the options for win32 to 3 copies, as thats what i need.

const options = {
        printer: printer_name,
        win32: ['-print-settings "3x"']
    };

And then i do the print...

ptp.print(filePath, options).then(res => {
        console.log('Print Complete');
    }).catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
    });

But i still only ever get 1 copy sent to my printer.. Am i doing something wrong?

Printing cut-off pages ('fit-to-page' print setting not working - using default Windows 10 print settings)

Describe the bug
Unable to format the print. The print does not have "fit-to-page" settings. It has the Windows 10 default print settings that cuts off part of the page.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install pdf-to-printer, write the script written in the documentation:

 const options = {
  printer: "Zebra",
  unix: ["-o fit-to-page"],
  win32: ['-print-settings "fit"']
};

ptp
  .print("assets/pdf-sample.pdf", options)
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

2. Run the script

Expected behavior
You want to print the PDF file with print-settings set to "fit-to-page"

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Version: v89
• Printer: HP Printer, I think. I do not have SumatraPDF installed on the computer.

Additional context
Does "pdf-to-printer" npm package use SumatraPDF in the background? You are using this in the documentation. Do I have to download SumatraPDF for this npm package to work? I expect not to download anything else. Windows 10 printer does not need any software to download PDF so.... Please instruct me if I need to download SumatraPDF separately

Print Color Settings?

Could you please tell me how to set the printing color, color, black and white?
There is a need to set the printing color of the printer, but see the UNIX system, print command parameters, do not find the option to set the color. Please tell me how to set it.

Possibility to set the print size

Describe the solution you'd like
I have a problem with the size of the printed label on the Zebra printer. I have a label that has to be 10x15 and when I print it manually out of the pdf file it is printed correctly (10x15), but when I have printed the same pdf using the library the end result is 70% of the destination size.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I was thinking about the printer configuratiin but I have ended up with the solution that was acceptable.

Additional context
Maybe we could provide the printing size via additional params that we are able to pass to the print function?

Cannot be called after wrapping with electron

Then I changed the path code on the 'electron-util.js'
export const fixPathForAsarUnpack = (path) => { // return isUsingAsar ? path.replace("app.asar", "app.asar.unpacked") : path; return path.replace("/app.asar", "") };

And then the print worked

printing from main process?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
calling printer.print in the main process. error message should cannot read property 'print' of undefined.

Expected behavior
the pdf should be printed

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10
• Browser chrome
• Version 78.0.3904.70

saw the react example, question is, does it has to print in the renderer process?

gsprint in addition to SumatraPDF

I'd like to use gsprint as alternative to sumatrapdf.

I think the main reason why you've chosen sumatrapdf is the portable executable.
But in my eyes sumatrapdf is not a good pdf-printing tool.

What do you think when adding an ENV_Parameter to configure pdf-to-printer to use gsprint (installer won't be included) over sumatra?

If its okay for you, I'd start working on this and opening a PR when I'm @#done.

Print specific pages

Hi there,

Is there an option to print only specific pages of the document? Cheers.

issue with encoding

execFile() can add options, as { encoding : 'binary'}

Error in the docs

The docs are saying that to fit the print in the page size, you have to do this:
const options = { printer: "Zebra", unix: ["-n 2"], win32: ['-print-settings "2x"'] };

But this actually prints the same page two times.

To fit the page the settings should be:
const options = { printer: "Zebra", unix: ["-o fit-to-page"], win32: ['-print-settings "fit"'] };

Add human readable name to the list returned by getPrinters

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We only have the printer code name, with _, which is not nice for displaying.

Describe the solution you'd like
Electron's getPrinters returns a list of objects representing printers which got properties for name(device code) and a displayName which contains the human readable name of the printer without _.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
None

Error: Command failed: <path to nodejs application>\node_modules\pdf-to-printer\dist\SumatraPDF.exe -print-to PRINTERNAME -silent filename.pdf

const options = {
printer: localPrinter // local printer provided as a string of the printer name
}
