Agentprint CLI

AgentPrint CLI

Use agentprint when the host already has CUPS tooling and the workflow needs structured printer discovery, queue setup, or non-interactive printing.

Invoke the Tool

Prefer the installed binary when it exists:

agentprint list

If working inside this repository or the binary is not installed, run:

go run ./cmd/agentprint -- list

Choose Commands

• Use list to inspect configured local queues and identify the default printer.
• Use discover to enumerate reachable IPP, IPPS, and DNS-SD printers through local CUPS tooling.
• Use ensure to create or repair a queue from -uri or a -match against discovered printers.
• Use print to submit a local file or HTTP(S) URL with CUPS options such as copies, duplex, media, scaling, color mode, and raw -option name=value flags.

Apply Good Defaults

• Keep the default -format json when another step will parse the result.
• Use -format tsv for quick terminal inspection of list and discover.
• Prefer ensure -match ... -default on boards where queues need to self-heal before a print job.
• Reject or fix invalid combinations before running, especially -scale-percent with -fit-to-page or -fill-page.

Examples

Discover reachable printers:

go run ./cmd/agentprint -- discover -format tsv

Repair a queue and set it as default:

go run ./cmd/agentprint -- ensure -printer office -match "Office Laser" -default

Print a remote PDF in monochrome:

go run ./cmd/agentprint -- print -printer office -input https://example.com/report.pdf -fit-to-page -color-mode monochrome
