ipp-printer
A Node.js implementation of an IPP printer that advertises itself on your local network for receiving print jobs.
What is ipp-printer?
ipp-printer is a Node.js module that implements an IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) printer server, allowing you to create a virtual printer on your local network. It solves the problem of needing a physical printer or print server by enabling any device on the network to send print jobs to a Node.js application, where they can be processed or saved as files.
Developers and system administrators who need to simulate network printers for testing, create custom print job handlers, or build applications that receive print jobs programmatically.
Developers choose ipp-printer because it provides a pure Node.js implementation of IPP with zero dependencies on physical hardware, making it ideal for testing, prototyping, and building custom print workflows without complex setup.
