LPrint implements printing for a variety of common label and receipt printers connected via network or USB. Features include:
- A single executable handles spooling, status, and server functionality.
- Multiple printer support.
- Each printer implements an IPP Everywhere™ print service and is compatible with the driverless printing support in Android™, Chrome OS™, iOS®, Linux®, macOS®, and Windows® 10/11 clients.
- Each printer can support options such as label modes, tear-off offsets, media tracking, media top offset, print darkness, resolution, roll selection, and speed.
- Each printer can directly print “raw”, Apple/PWG Raster, and/or PNG files.
- Each printer automatically recovers from out-of-media, power loss, and disconnected/bad cable issues.
