I was involved in a project where I need to print from Node.JS. This is the reason why I created this project and I want to share my code with others.

- Network printers
- no dependecies;
- native method wrappers from Windows and POSIX (which uses CUPS 1.4/MAC OS X 10.6) APIs;
- compatible with node v0.8.x, 0.9.x and v0.11.x (with 0.11.9 and 0.11.13);
- compatible with node-webkit v0.8.x and 0.9.2;
- getPrinters() to enumerate all installed printers with current jobs and statuses;
- getPrinter(printerName) to get a specific/default printer info with current jobs and statuses;
- getPrinterDriverOptions(printerName) (POSIX only) to get a specific/default printer driver options such as supported paper size and other info
- getSelectedPaperSize(printerName) (POSIX only) to get a specific/default printer default paper size from its driver options
- getDefaultPrinterName() return the default printer name;
- printDirect(options) to send a job to a specific/default printer, now supports CUPS options passed in the form of a JS object (see cancelJob.js example). To print a PDF from windows it is possible by using node-pdfium module to convert a PDF format into EMF and after to send to printer as EMF;
- printFile(options) (POSIX only) to print a file;
- getSupportedPrintFormats() to get all possible print formats for printDirect method which depends on OS. RAW and TEXT are supported from all OS-es;
- getJob(printerName, jobId) to get a specific job info including job status;
- setJob(printerName, jobId, command) to send a command to a job (e.g. 'CANCEL' to cancel the job);
