SeaPrint - Network printing for SailfishOS

It is still not the “Settings” page. Is there a problem with the German translation?

No. They have the same data source (and it is one single attribute).

Sorry, I meant the “Printer properties” page instead of printer settings. It was a typing error on my part. The translation in the app is correct.

Ok. Thank you for your fast support.

I ask me how complicated it would be to add bluetooth printing support.
E.g to use Phomemo T02 Printer

CUPS driver is already reverse-engeneered: GitHub - vivier/phomemo-tools: CUPS driver for Phomemo M02 Label Printer

From the looks of it, SeaPrint doesn’t really help or have that in scope - there is no standard on Bluetooth it seems. SeaPrint is about standard protocols and formats. IPP and Raster handling is something where i can give the others a run for their money, but things like PCL and ESC with their versions and dialects is not a mess i want to enter into (no chance of seemless autodetect).

Even CUPS is throwing out all the legacy cruft into separate services nowadays. So that’s going o be my advice; add it to CUPS, or perhaps better yet, PAPPL/LPrint and use SeaPrint as a GUI/client to that if it is helpful.

Understood, thank you very much for the detailed explanation

Long time, no update.
My clean-up and port of the core logic to regular C++ went really well, but reintegrating to the SFOS app is just not really that fun to do (and i hit some annoying threading problem that Qt apparently doesn’t have).

However; i had accumulated a few fixes in the “old”/current version and now i backported a rather embarrasing one - i had failed to decode Name/TextWithLanguage properly. So @Se 's empty strings were probably my fault all along. New release published on GitHub, and pending in Harbour. Happy tree-killing.

great app, thanks!

i just only have few questions

  • why i can not add printer via hostname but only IP?
    for some reason canon8350 isnt automaticaly discovered and has to be added via IP/ipp/print but time to time if i restart router or after power outage printer has different IP…
  • how is it with Share → SeaPrint eg from Galery, i have seen some plugin sources but no idea if it is what i want or if it is still alive… just would be nice to have this, because mostly if i want to print something first time i see the picture…, than that i open SeaPrint and search what i want to print…

I have no problem using a hostname. A real DNS hostname that is, as opposed to mDNS .local.

That’s described in the store description. Available on OpenRepos and working fine.

thanks, plugin works as expected :slight_smile:

hostname for canon ts8300 does not work even phone can resolve hostname from terminal, strange because for other HP printer it works as expected

If you tried ipp, try with ipps (or vice versa). Some printers are apparently picky.
It is just libcurl underneath.. so not much i can fix or could have done to break it.
