Free printer cat software for linux

printerpowerd project is a Daemon to automatically turn a printer on and off.

printerpowerd is a little Python script designed for users of older printers who want to save power when not using their printer, without manually turning it on and off.

It runs, checking the printer queue directory every five seconds, turns it on when it sees a job, and turns it off after a configurable amount of idle time.

It allows you to turn a printer on and off (when idle) using X10 or any other abitrary command.

Prostat software is a statistic tool for Squid.

HOWTO

Archive prostat_1.3.tar.gz contains very little documentation so heres the extra short manual for how to use prostat:

1. install prostat package
2. make your own copy of /usr/local/prostat/prostat.conf and edit it as you want (or edit directly /usr/local/prostat/prostat.conf)
3. run

prostat +g

(or just prostat in case you do not make copy of prostat.conf)

Example:

cat /var/log/squid/access.log.0 | prostat +g/usr/local/prostat/myconf.conf -

this produces statistic for entries in rotated log using options stored in /usr/local/prostat/myconf.conf file (option LOGFILE is ignored while prostat (in this example) is taking log data from stdin)

Note: do not insert space after +g option

Tips:

- use prostat and crontab to generate statistic automaticly as often as you want
- look at analhead.h in source prostat_1.3.tar.gz archive for some information about command-line options

TurboPrint is a high-quality printer driver system for Linux built on existing standards (e.g. ghostscript). It is designed to produce maximum quality photo printouts as well as high-speed text documents.

TurboPrint provides printer drivers for almost every inkjet printer, e.g. Canon BJC / S, Epson Stylus Color & Photo, HP DeskJet. All printer features are supported. TurboPrint comes with its own color matching system "TrueMatch".

High quality color profiles ensure optimum color reproduction on all print media (glossy paper, inkjet paper, ...). A comfortable GUI configuration menu and a printer toolbox (head cleaning, alignment, ink quantity) are included.

TurboPrint can be easily integrated into the CUPS printing system. The FreeEdition of TurboPrint can be obtained free of charge. It contains almost the full functionality.

Print Plug-In provides a basic printing capability for The GIMP.
The current release supports PostScript, PCL (HP LaserJet and DeskJet), and ESC/P2 (EPSON Stylus Color) printers. The PostScript printer drivers handle PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files if you have them.
Using the Print Plug-In:
The Printer option provides selections for many common printers. Currently the print plug-in supports the following printers:
- PostScript printers
- HP DeskJet 500, 500C, 520, 540C, 600C, 660C, 68xC, 69xC, 850C, 855C, 855Cse, 855Cxi, 870Cse, 870Cxi, 1100C, 1120C, 1200C, and 1600C printers
- HP LaserJet II, III, IIIp, IIIsi, 4, 4L, 4P, 4V, 4Si, 5, 5FS, 5L, 5P, 5SE, 5Si, 6L, 6P printers
- EPSON Stylus Color, Color Pro, Color Pro XL, Color 400, Color 500, Color 600, Color 800, Color 1500, Color 1520, and Color 3000.
The Output Type option controls whether the printed output is in color or B&W (grayscale). This option is silently forced to B&W for grayscale images and B&W-only printers.
The Media Size option controls the size of the output. By default images are printed to fit the page and are automatically rotated to fill the largest area possible.
The Media Type option tells the printer what type of media is being used (Plain, Coated, etc). Not all printers support the media type option.
The Media Source option tells the printer which paper tray to print from. Not all printers support the media source option.
The Resolution option controls the resolution of the output. Not all printers support the resolution option.
The Orientation option controls whether the output is automatically rotated for maximum page coverage (Auto) or set to a specific orientation (Portrait or Landscape).
The Scaling option controls how large the printed image is. The default is to scale to a percentage of the printable area of the page. You can also specify an image resolution in pixels-per-inch (PPI) by clicking on the PPI radio button. The image is centered by default, however you can adjust the position of the image on the page by dragging the preview image.
The Brightness option controls the overall printed image brightness. A brightness of 100 is usually good for most B&W and PostScript printers, while most inkjet printers need a brightness between 100 and 120 for acceptable results.
Printing to a File
If you want to print to a file, select File from the Printer list. A file chooser dialog is displayed when you press the Print button. Warning, when you print to a file any existing file will be silently overwritten by this release of the plug-in!
Layered Images
Like most plug-ins, the print plug-in only reads the image from the active layer. If you want to print a composite of all visible layers you need to merge the layers (CTRL-M) and then print.
Supported Printers/Features
Most of the printer drivers in the print plug-in use the highest supported resolution for a printer, with the following exceptions:
- EPSON Stylus Color 600, 800, 1520, and 3000 - Currently the driver only supports 720 DPI printing in "compatibility" mode. This makes the drivers extremely slow compared to the Windows and Mac drivers. Unfortunately, I cannot provide optimized drivers (nor drivers for 1440x720) because of our NDA with EPSON.
- EPSON Stylus Photo, Photo Ex, Photo 700 - Currently the driver only supports 720 DPI printing in "compatibility" mode. This makes the drivers extremely slow compared to the Windows and Mac drivers, and you dont get the use of the light cyan and magenta inks (again, because of NDA restrictions.)

TcpCat is a cat like command but for tcp service.

TcpCat is a very lightweight tcp util. It take an IP address and a TCP port as argument, connect to it and give the result back to stdout.

It was written as a lightweight version of netcat. As such it work as the unix cat command but instead of displaying a file it display the result from a tcp service.

XLSperl module allows you to use Perl "one-liners" with Microsoft Excel files.

SYNOPSYS

XLSperl [options] -e ... file1.xls file2.xls ... fileX.xls
cat file.txt | XLSperl [options] -e ...

Perl "one-liners" have a great many uses for quick data processing tasks, often replacing the UNIX tools grep, sed, and awk. For example, a simple "grep" function can be written as:

perl -lne /pattern/ and print file.txt

which improves on the standard grep function by allowing the extended features of Perl regular expressions to be used.
However, this form of processing is only suitable for data that can be read (or needs to be written) in plain text format. XLSperl lets you use the same commands to process and create Microsoft Excel files, e.g. the following command will "grep" an Excel document:

XLSperl -lne /pattern/ and print file.xls

Usage:

Basic usage of XLSperl is as follows:

XLSperl [options] -e perl_code file1.xls file2.xls ... fileX.xls

Additionally Microsoft Excel files can be piped in to XLSperl

cat file.xls | XLSperl [options] -e perl_code

PHP Printer Friendly Pages Generator Class is a PHP class that helps you create printer friendly versions of your page very easy.
All you need to do is to insert some custom tags in your pages, tags that will tell the script what needs to be printed from that specific page. An unlimited number of areas can be set for printing allowing you a flexible way of setting up the content to be printed
The output is template driven, meaning that you can customize the printer friendly versions of your pages by adding custom headers, footers, copyright information or whatever extra info that you find appropriate
The script can be instructed to transform links to a readable format (< a href="www.somesite.com" >click here< /a > will become click here [www.somesite.com]) or to remove img tags (< img src="pic.jpg" alt="picture" / > will become [image: picture] or just [image] if no alt attribute is specified)
The code is heavily documented so you can easily understand every aspect of it
See the manual for more info.
This script was inspired by PHPrint which can be found at http://www.tufts.edu/webcentral/phprint.
Enhancements:
- Extra content was not appearing in the correct position but at the end of the content.

Pipebench shows the current throughput and amount of data going through a pipe. It can be used to show the progress of a large md5sum process: cat bigfile | pipebench | md5sum.

Pipebench measures the speed of a pipe, by sitting in the middle passing the data along to the next process. Works on at least Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and x86, Alpha, HPPA, Sparc and Sparc64.

Compiling

Just type make to compile.

Type make install to have pipebench be installed in /usr/local/bin
