## About
|
|
|
|
This project started when I got a Thermal Printer from a friend. I don't really know if you can do anything more, but I guess it's fun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
To make this project work, you will need :
|
|
- [A Thermal Printer](https://www.adafruit.com/product/597)
|
|
- A Raspberry Pi
|
|
- Some electric wires.
|
|
- Some knowledge of the command line
|
|
- 3h of your time
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Start by following the guide [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/networked-thermal-printer-using-cups-and-raspberry-pi) to install the CUPS software needed to print images. If you want, you can install it via the command line, [following this guide](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/cups.html).
|
|
|
|
You can also get some information from [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-thermal-receipt-printer) and [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/instant-camera-using-raspberry-pi-and-thermal-printer) if you're stuck.
|
|
|
|
Then, setup the project :
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://git.n07070.xyz/n07070/LittlePrynter
|
|
cd LittlePrynter
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
Now, edit `the users.json` and add a user. **Don't forget to remove the test user.**
|
|
|
|
You can now start the web server with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export FLASK_APP=littleprynter.py
|
|
flask run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Voilà !
