Examples
Get all available printers
let printers = get_printers();
// Vec<Printer>
Create print job of an byte array
printer.print("42".as_bytes());
// Result<(), &'static str>
Create print job of an file
printer.print_file("my_file/example/path.txt");
// Result<(), &'static str>
Get a printer by name
let my_printer = get_printer_by_name("my_printer");
// Option<Printer>
Get the default printer
let printer = get_default_printer();
// Option<Printer>
Simple compilation
use printers::{get_printer_by_name, get_default_printer, get_printers};
fn main() {
// Iterate all available printers
for printer in get_printers() {
println!("{:?}", printer);
}
// Get a printer by the name
let my_printer = get_printer_by_name("my_printer");
if my_printer.is_some() {
my_printer.unwrap().print_file("notes.txt", None);
// Err("") or Ok(())
}
// Use the default printer
let default_printer = get_default_printer();
if default_printer.is_some() {
default_printer.unwrap().print("dlrow olleh".as_bytes(), Some("My Job"));
// Ok(())
}
