Print Console

A desktop app I built to manage my printer: upload PDFs, preview pages, configure print settings (B&W/color, copies, odd/even pages), and monitor the print queue in real time. Built on top of the CUPS printing layer using lp and lpstat.

CUPS is the native printing system on Linux and macOS. Does not work on Windows.

Requires Rust, Node.js, pnpm, and CUPS (cups / cups-daemon package) installed on your system.
