I try to print an image from python script on Debian 10 using cups:
import cups
def printImageLinux(image_name):
conn = cups.Connection()
printer = conn.getDefault()
conn.printFile(printer, image_name, 'suo_ticket', {})
Finally, the image went to print but I see canceling of printing and error in Cups user interface (localhost:631) with a message: "The page setup information was not valid."
I suppose that I should make some preparation of image sending to print, but I didn't find any information about it. I can print the same image from Windows using win32print module and code:
import os, sys
from win32 import win32api, win32print
from PIL import Image, ImageWin
def printImage(image_name):
# Constants for GetDeviceCaps
# HORZRES / VERTRES = printable area
HORZRES = 8
VERTRES = 10
# LOGPIXELS = dots per inch
LOGPIXELSX = 88
LOGPIXELSY = 90
# PHYSICALWIDTH/HEIGHT = total area
PHYSICALWIDTH = 110
PHYSICALHEIGHT = 111
# PHYSICALOFFSETX/Y = left / top margin
PHYSICALOFFSETX = 112
PHYSICALOFFSETY = 113
printer_name = win32print.GetDefaultPrinter ()
file_name = image_name
#
# You can only write a Device-independent bitmap
# directly to a Windows device context; therefore
# we need (for ease) to use the Python Imaging
# Library to manipulate the image.
#
# Create a device context from a named printer
# and assess the printable size of the paper.
#
hDC = win32ui.CreateDC ()
hDC.CreatePrinterDC (printer_name)
printable_area = hDC.GetDeviceCaps (HORZRES), hDC.GetDeviceCaps (VERTRES)
printer_size = hDC.GetDeviceCaps (PHYSICALWIDTH), hDC.GetDeviceCaps (PHYSICALHEIGHT)
printer_margins = hDC.GetDeviceCaps (PHYSICALOFFSETX), hDC.GetDeviceCaps (PHYSICALOFFSETY)
#
# Open the image, rotate it if it's wider than
# it is high, and work out how much to multiply
# each pixel by to get it as big as possible on
# the page without distorting.
#
bmp = Image.open (file_name)
if bmp.size[0] > bmp.size[1]:
bmp = bmp.rotate (90)
ratios = [1.0 * printable_area[0] / bmp.size[0], 1.0 * printable_area[1] / bmp.size[1]]
scale = min (ratios)
#
# Start the print job, and draw the bitmap to
# the printer device at the scaled size.
#
hDC.StartDoc (file_name)
hDC.StartPage ()
dib = ImageWin.Dib (bmp)
scaled_width, scaled_height = [int (scale * i) for i in bmp.size]
x1 = int ((printer_size[0] - scaled_width) / 2)
y1 = int ((printer_size[1] - scaled_height) / 2)
x2 = x1 + scaled_width
y2 = y1 + scaled_height
dib.draw (hDC.GetHandleOutput (), (x1, y1, x2, y2))
hDC.EndPage ()
hDC.EndDoc ()
hDC.DeleteDC ()
It works correctly.
Can I make the same operations with the image in Debian?
Thank you for any help!
Problem was solved with using PIL module. Working code:
import cups
from PIL import Image
def printImageLinux(image_name):
conn = cups.Connection()
printer = conn.getDefault()
image1 = Image.open(image_name)
im1 = image1.convert('RGB')
im1.save('temp_image.pdf')
conn.printFile(printer, 'temp_image.pdf', 'suo_ticket', {'fit-to-page':'True'})
