Free cups api software for linux

pycups 1.9.46 offers a wide range of Python bindings for the CUPS API.

Tea4CUPS project is similar in functionnality to the GNU/Linux tee command, but available as a 100% plug and play generic CUPS backend wrapper.
Tea4CUPS is the Swiss Armys knife of the advanced CUPS administrator, and can easily replace or extend most of the existing specialized CUPS backends (pdf, email, ftp, etc...)
You are greatly encouraged to use this software instead of writing your own CUPS backends : Tea4CUPS will let you plug your own scripts, filters, tools, or commands wherever you want, while giving them access to all the print jobs characteristics in a consistent way.
Tea4CUPS is a 100% Python written standalone script distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free Software Foundation.
Tea4CUPS provides three ways to launch commands :
filters : A filter can modify the input datas before they are sent to the printer or made available to the pre and post hooks defined below. Currently a single filter can be defined per print queue.
prehooks : these are guaranteed to be launched before the print job is sent to the real printer. Any prehook which exits -1 can cancel the print job. Any number of prehooks can be defined for a particular print queue.
posthooks : these are guaranteed to be launched after the print job has been sent to the real printer, unless the job was previously cancelled by a prehook. Any number of posthooks can be defined for a particular print queue.
Enhancements:
- Access to the same printer devices by different print queues or print servers is now serialized to avoid problems.
- Support for CUPS 1.2.x and higher was improved.
- The administrator can now stop tea4cups with SIGINT.
- A configurable retry directive in the configuration file gives you more control over what to do when the real CUPS backend fails.
- The documentation and sample configuration file were improved.

GROU.PS Web is a general purpose PHP API, created for use in Web 2.0 sites. It includes frequently used design patterns of well known web 2.0 sites. For a correct definiton of Web 2.0, you may want to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

Our API currently has 2 classes:

1) TagCloud?.class.php

Feed the class with your own data, and create Web 2.0 style tag clouds

2) Utility.class.php

General purpose functions. For instance getStyledDateDiff gives nicely formatted date differences that are in use in digg.com and grou.ps

The APIs are not complete yet. We are open to any ideas, wished coming from you.

Usage:

Tag Cloud Example
< ?php
require_once(/path/to/TagCloud.class.php);

$tc = new TagCloud();

$tc->setMinFontSize(8);
$tc->setMaxFontSize(20);

$tc->setDistributionType(TC_RANDOM_DISTRIBUTION);

$tc->setDataClass(tags);

$tc->addData(love,10);
$tc->addData(sex,20);
$tc->addData(food,5);
$tc->addData(business,1);
$tc->addData(PHP,2);

$res = $tc->generate();

echo $res;
? >

Utility Example:

< ?php

require_once(/path/to/Utility.class.php);

$start_date = "September 21, 1999";
$end_date = "yesterday";

$u = new Utility();

$datediff = $u->getStyledDateDiff($start_date,$end_date);

$birthday = "11 January 1978";

$zodiacsign = $u->getZodiacSign($birthday);

echo $datediff;
echo "
";
echo $zodiacsign;

Wikipedia API is a simple API to embed Wikipedia content dynamically on a Web site.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia in which the user community is encouraged to submit information for its entries. Wikipedia is unique in that it is free to the public, the content is fairly well moderated, and its content is licensed under the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License); therefore, all of its text can be copied, modified, and used any way you see fit.

The only stipulation to using its text, is that the names of the original authors must remain intact. KillerTux.com is currently embedding some of the relevant entries in its own site and has decided to make the API open for public use. It is a simple implementation and should be easy to use. If you are a webmaster and would like to use KillerTux.coms Wikipedia API, this is the place to learn how to do it.

What is an API

An API is an application programming interface with which external applications can communicate with. The syntax and usage of the API dictates the type of data, format, and other specifics of the information to be exchanged. In this case, the API is a simple call to KillerTux.coms web server via the HTTP protocol.

Wikipedia API usage

The URL for the API is "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php". It uses the get request method and only has 3 parameters. These parameters are as follows:

wikititle=
wikiformat=[html | text]
wikiimages=[yes | no ]

The wikititle value is the name of the Wikipedia entry you are looking for, in Wikipedias variable entry. This can be found by going to Wikipedia.org and finding an entry. The name is the last part of the URL. For instance, the Wikipedia entry for "Computer Program" is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Program". Notice the space is an underscore in the URL. Defining the wikititle value for this API would look like this: wikititle=Computer_Program. This value must be specified. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program". The wikiformat value currently has two possible values: html and text. html is the default if no value is specified. If you use HTML format, it is recommended that a style sheet be used, although it may not be necessary.

A sample CSS is provided here. The text format option strips all HTML code from the document and returns plain text formatted at 80 characters per column. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program&wikiformat=html". The wikiimages value is only valid for HTML format; images for the text format are disabled. Image source locations are preserved and images are loaded from Wikipedia, not KillerTux.com. If wikiimages=no is selected, all images and captions will be striped from the document, while other HTML code should remain intact such as links to other articles. A sample API call would be "http://scrapers.killertux.com/wikipedia-api.php?wikititle=Computer_Program&wikiimages=no".

SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers. If you have a such printer, you need to download and use SpliX. Moreover you will find documentations about this proprietary language.
Note that only SPL2 printers are currently supported! However we are looking for people who have a SPL printer to implement it as soon as possible.
Dont hesitate to leave us a message if necessary.
Enhancements:
- Several bugs have been fixed.
- It can be used with CUPS version 1.2 or later.
- The Makefile has been changed.
- The SRT mode is only available for specific printers.
- Splix on 64-bit architectures now works.
- The last band is now printed.
- Margins have been recalculated.
- New translations for German and Italian have been added.
