# CUPS Common Print Dialog Backend This repository hosts the code for the CUPS **C**ommon **P**rint **D**ialog **B**ackend. This backend manages and provides information about CUPS and IPP printing destinations to the printing dialog. ## Background The [Common Print Dialog Backends](https://openprinting.github.io/achievements/#common-print-dialog-backends) project aims to move the responsability on the part of the print dialog which communicates with the print system away from the GUI toolkit/app developers to the print system's developers and also to bring all print technologies available to the user (CUPS, cloud printing services, ...) into all application's print dialogs. ## Dependencies - [cpdb-libs](https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cpdb-libs): Version >= 2.0.0 (or GIT Master) - [CUPS](https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups): Version >= 2.2 `sudo apt install cups libcups2-dev` - GLIB 2.0: `sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev` ## Build and installation ``` $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install ``` If you are updating from an older version, please kill the old version of the backend: ``` $ sudo killall cups ``` This way the next time when a print dialog is opened the new version of the backend is started. ## Following the development and updating The current source code you find on the [OpenPrinting GitHub](https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cpdb-backend-cups). ## Running The backend is auto-activated when a frontend (like a CPDB-supporting print dialog or the example frontend `demo/print_frontend` of cpdb-libs) is started, so there is no need to run it explicitly. However, if you wish to see the debug statements in the backend code, you can run `/usr/local/lib/print-backends/cups` ## More Info - [Nilanjana Lodh's Google Summer of Code 2017 Final Report](https://nilanjanalodh.github.io/common-print-dialog-gsoc17/) - [Gaurav Guleria's Google Summer of Code 2022 Final Report](https://github.com/TinyTrebuchet/gsoc22/)
