Little Prynter
Print out shit from the cloud.
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
- A Raspberry Pi
- Some electric wires.
- Some knowledge of the command line
- 3h of your time
Installation
Start by following the guide here to install the CUPS software needed to print images. You can also get some information from here and here 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 !
