PHP PrintIPP (PHP::PRINT::IPP) installation

INSTALL on Debian

• Download last .deb package from here.
• as "root" or via "sudo", type

   # dpkg -i php-printipp_0.*-1_all.deb
  
    (or)
  
   $ sudo dpkg -i php-printipp_0.*-1_all.deb
  

Classes location is /usr/share/php/printipp/. As default PHP include_path directive includes /usr/share/php/, you'll have to put either one of the following lines in your PHP code, depending of what level of operations you want to perform (only one include/require is needed, because top-classes will load automagically the low-level ones):

      require_once('printipp/BasicIPP.php');
    or:
      require_once('printipp/PrintIPP.php');
    or:
      require_once('printipp/ExtendedPrintIPP.php');
    or:
      require_once('printipp/CupsPrintIPP.php');
    

Choose the last if you are unsure

www pages are in /usr/share/php-printipp/ (you'll have to link /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpprintipp to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to make them available at http://localhost/print/). It is wise to restrict access to these pages to local net, or identified hosts (default to localhost only), and to edit their settings.

Command-line "phpprintipp" tool is in /usr/bin

Documentation is in /usr/share/doc/php-printipp directory.

Two new cool banners (txtbanner and psbanner) are in /usr/share/cups/banners directory.

INSTALL on other systems

• Download last tarball from here.
• Unpack it (tar zxvf phpprintipp_0.*.tar.gz), OR eg. via 7zip (two operations, the first expanding the compressed archive, the second unpacking the tarball).
• Browse to /php_classes directory of the unpacked archive
• Manually copy the 5 php files (*IPP.php + http_class.php) in a same directory. It can be a 'printipp' directory in your project, preferably out of the web-accessable path, or, better, a directory in your php include_path (eg c:\php\includes", see your php.ini file) for a system-wide installation.

• you'll have to put either one of the following lines in your PHP code, depending of what level of operations you want to perform (only one include/require is needed, because top-classes will load automagically the low-level ones):

        require_once('printipp/BasicIPP.php');

        require_once('printipp/PrintIPP.php');
      or:
        require_once('printipp/ExtendedPrintIPP.php');
      or:
        require_once('printipp/CupsPrintIPP.php');

• Manually copy — if needed — the unpacked archive's bin/*.php in a system's directory PATH included.
• Manually copy — if needed — the unpacked archive's www/* (www pages) into the web directory location you want. It is wise to restrict access to these pages to local net, or identified hosts, and to edit their settings.
• Manually copy the unpacked archive's /documentation where you want — preferably in a local web repository directory, in order file links works.
