PrintIPP ou PHP::PRINT::IPP est un ensemble de classes PHP (PHP5) implémentant un client IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).

PHP::PRINT::IPP, permet l'impression sur un serveur IPP de fichiers ou de chaînes (strings), et l'annulation des jobs. IL réalise toutes les opérations obligatoires et optionnelles décrites dans la RFC2911.

Est également disponible une sous-classe CUPS™, avec des opérations spécifiques à ce serveur.

PHP::PRINT::IPP est distribué sous licence GNU LGPL. C'est donc un « Logiciel Libre ».

BasicIPP is the base class of PrintIPP, a simplified version, with only one operation: PrintJob

Loaded with HTTP back-end, it cots only 796kBits.

The only server's response parsing in BasicIPP is the test on successfull operation or not.

CupsPrintIPP (the whole class) costs ~2.5MBits ("real": 1.6Mbits), while BasicIPP (the base class) costs ~830kBits ("real": 786Kbits).

Memory cost is measured with furnished HTTP back-end.

Memory allocation is measured with CLI on Debian Sarge, "php testfiles/test_exceptions.php"

PRODUCTION/STABLE.

Currently, it is able to print both strings and files on an IPP server, parses server's response, cancels jobs, and perform all REQUIRED and OPTIONAL operations from RFC2911. CUPS extension have following operations: cupsGetDefaults (get default printer attributes), cupsAcceptJobs, cupsRejectJobs (reject jobs for given printer), cupsGetPrinters (get printers list).

• It is currently tested only with CUPS and a few print servers. Please report if it is working with other servers to the phpprintipp@nongnu.org mailing list.
• SSL/TLS works with CUPS but is not capable of upgrade from standard HTTP connection. If you need TLS with CUPS-1.1, please set up "SSLPort" to a dedicated port in cupsd.conf (CUPS 1.2 seems to work well without that setting).

None. Please report any bug or feature request to https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/phpprintipp

It depends on http_class.php, which is shipped with. http_class.php is stable enough, but handles only "Digest" and "Basic" authentication, and is not capable of "upgrade" operation.

So you can use:

"CLASS: HTTP protocol client" (currently, do not handle large files),

"HTTP protocol client" can be found at http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3.html.
License: BSD.

"CLASS: Simple Authentication and Security Layer" for authentication.
