Welcome to lpy
About lpy
Lpy is a printing tool with GUI interface written in python.
Now many printers have a lot of functions(Duplex,Nup,Staple,Booklets,etc)
and become more smallsized and more inexpensive.
But on Linux(UNIX-like OS) these functions are hardly avaliable.
The aim of lpy is to make your Multifunction-Printer(a optional Finisher) avaliable.
independent of a spooler and a application software in user space.
Any filter of a printing spooler isn't necessary.
a frontend of GNU a2ps that converts a text-file to a PS-file.
a printing filter which uses a GS(Ghostscript)
written in Python and PyGTK
uses SNMP(PrinterMIB) if possible
for getting printer informations(Errors and Status)
supports PJL commands if possible.
Now some PJL commands are supported.
available in UNIX-like OS(Linux,FreeBSD and Solaris,HP-UX,etc)
