rsvp is a really simple virtual network printer. It will attempt to print everything that is sent to its open port (9100 by default) as a pdf and can optionally send you the resulting print via email.
The rsvp executable expects parmeters to function, you can see all the possible arguments by inputing rsvp -h.
Usage of ./rsvp:
-dm string
destination email address (default "[email protected]")
-m send prints via email
-o string
output directory (default "~/rsvp")
-p string
port rsvp listens on (default ":9100")
-sa string
smtp server and port (default "smtp.domain.tld:587")
-sm string
sender email address (default "rsvp-noreply@hostname")
-sp string
smtp user password (default "password")
-su string
smtp user name (default "[email protected]")
-t int
timeout in seconds (default 5)
Unless specified otherwise during the invokation, the content to be printed as well as the pdf prints will be stored in two subdirectories of ~/rsvp at the date at which they were received:
rsvp/
├── pdf
│ └── Thu Sep 8 09:46:43 CEST 2016.pdf
└── pdl
└── Thu Sep 8 09:46:43 CEST 2016.pdl
The following set of parameters will start rsvp on the 9800 port and instruct it to store its output in ~/output:
rsvp -p 9800 -o ~/output
The following set of parameters will start rsvp on the 9100 port and instruct it to forward every print via email:
rsvp -p 9100 -sa mail.cock.li:587 -sm [email protected] -su [email protected] -sp password
To build rsvp, your Go development environment must be set up correctly (your $GOPATH must be set correctly and $GOPATH/bin must be into your path).
You can fetch the sources with:
go get github.com/Marneus68/rsvp
This will take care of the dependencies and install rsvp in your $GPATH/bin directory.
- A proper PDL language should be implemented at some point. I'll have to get my hands on "standard" network printers for that. Here's some related HP reference material:
- Validate incomming connection's content to avoid print blank pacges when the input isn't valid postscript.
