The papplMainloop function runs until all processing for the current sub-command is complete, returning the exit status for the program. Also allows the printer application to define its own usage callback and have an application specific subcommand. It runs a standard main loop with a system callback. PapplMainLoop is the main entry point for the application.
Components for PAPPL-based Printer Driver The following tutorial helps you to understand how to design each component and integrate the PAPPL Utilities to reduce your work. The flowchart below mentions the components of the driver that needs to be designed by you (boxes in blue color), along with the PAPPL utilities (boxes in red color) that would be used by your designed components. Therefore Michael Sweet has developed PAPPL, a library that provides all the common functionality which is required in every Printer Application.
Kindly refer Printer Applications - A new way to print in Linux to learn more about Printer Applications, its working and benefits.įor Designing the Printer Application Driver, it would be a lot of re-inventing the wheel if everyone who wants to create a printer driver has to implement all things from scratch. Printer Applications help to address these issues. For example, some printers(especially the old ones) that cannot handle IPP requests are devoid of driverless printing capability. However, there are some problems with the current framework. Printing in Linux has moved towards Driverless Printing, which means there is no need for any hardware-model-specific code or data. If you are looking for information regarding the use of printer drivers, kindly refer to User Manual IntroductionĪ driver is a code or data specific to a certain model or group of hardware devices, needed to make the hardware work with the hardware-model-independent code of the operating system. This document contains a complete tutorial as well as information for manufacturers with examples for designing printer drivers.
