Luau Bindings — printer
The require("printer") script API — network printing over IPP (the CUPS/AirPrint protocol), using DeMon's CM5 networking. Every function is [antos]. Design & native core: antos_printer.
local printer = require("printer")
printer.set_default("ipp://hp-laser.local/ipp/print")
local ok, err = printer.print_file("B:/docs/readme.txt", { format = "text" })
Discovery & default
| Function |
Behaviour |
printer.discover([opts]) |
Find printers (mDNS) → a list. opts.timeout_ms. (Discovery is stubbed until mDNS lands — returns empty for now.) |
printer.set_default(uri) · printer.get_default() |
Set / read the default printer IPP URI. |
printer.ping(uri) |
Check a printer is reachable. |
Seeds (known printers)
| Function |
Behaviour |
printer.list_seeds() · printer.add_seed(uri) · printer.set_seeds(list) |
Manage a persisted list of known-printer URIs (used until discovery is live). |
Printing
| Function |
Behaviour |
printer.print_file(path, opts) |

printer.print_text(text, opts) |
Print a string directly. |
printer.print_ps(postscript, opts) |
Print raw PostScript. |
