# ESC/POS CUPS Raster Driver - rastertoescpos

## Introduction

A driver to ESC/POS Label printers supporting the ESC/POS Command Language.

Converts CUPS Raster graphics along with a supported PPD file into a ESC/POS graphic ready to
be printed directly. As of yet, there is no support for sending text to the driver.

Conversion includes support for the 
delivery of print jobs to the printer. Raw 8-bit graphics direct from the raster driver
are also supported but not recommended.

This document and source for the driver can be found at:

## History

### 2016-08-10 - Initial release
 
Converted original restertotpcl file into rastertoescpos.
Now using CUPS raster header 2 for finer control of page sizes.
Refactoring.

## Supported Printers

Support for the following printers is included by the PPD files:

There is little variation between these printers other than resolutions, speeds, and accepted media types,
so new printer models can be tested or added easily.

## Instalation

The CUPS image development headers are required before compilation. In Ubuntu, these can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2-dev

The easiest way to install from source is to run the following from the base directory:

make
    sudo make install

This will install the filter and PPD files in the standard CUPS filter and PPD directories
and show them in the CUPS printer selection screens.
