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.

* 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

* 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;
