SharpCUPS (based on SharpIPP)

C# implementation of Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 and some bits of CUPS 1.0. It can print! And do other stuff with any printer, connected via Internet.

Installation

Available on [nuget][SharpCUPS.nuget]

Connect to CUPS service on host

var cupsUri = new Uri("https://cupsPrintServer");
var client = new SharpIppClient(cupsUri, httpClient);

It prints

await using var stream = File.Open(@"c:\file.pdf", FileMode.Open);
var printerUri = new Uri("ipp://192.168.0.1:631");
var request = new PrintJobRequest
{
    PrinterUri = printer,
    Document = stream,
    JobName = "Test Job",
    IppAttributeFidelity = false,
    DocumentName = "Document Name",
    DocumentFormat = "application/octet-stream",
    DocumentNaturalLanguage = "en",
    MultipleDocumentHandling = MultipleDocumentHandling.SeparateDocumentsCollatedCopies,
    Copies = 1,
    Finishings = Finishings.None,
    PageRanges = new[] {new Range(1, 1)},
    Sides = Sides.OneSided,
    NumberUp = 1,
    OrientationRequested = Orientation.Portrait,
    PrinterResolution = new Resolution(600, 600, ResolutionUnit.DotsPerInch),
    PrintQuality = PrintQuality.Normal
};

var response = await client.PrintJobAsync(request);

var request = new IppRequestMessage
{
    RequestId = 1,
    IppOperation = (IppOperation)0x000A,
    Version = IppVersion.V11
};
request.OperationAttributes.AddRange(
    new []
