Testing image uploads from Mimi Browser to Mastodon, meanwhile here a Screenshot and Screenrecording of Printing on Ubuntu Touch
EDIT: I don't know what it did to the video file but rest assured, it looks properly running on-device.
@fredldotme Is this based on the #CUPS #Snap on your #Ubuntu #UbuntuTouch phone? Your printer is a CUPS queue on a remote server? Is the server running MacOS or Linux?
Did the printing work out smoothly? Printer easily discovered? Options correctly displayed? Option settings correctly applied by the printer? Printout on the printer correct?
What kind of file did you print? PDF? How many pages?
@till here the answers:
- Yes, this uses the CUPS Snap on Ubuntu Touch
- Printer is connected to my Ubuntu-powered Mac Mini (Intel) and shared across the home network.
- Printing works, but requires Ink to fully call it provable. Paper gets used throughout the printing process.
- Finding printers automatically works once Avahi is shipped in the Ubuntu Touch rootfs by default
- PDFs are shared through Content-Hub across apps to a printing app
- Also prints test PDFs in system-settings
@fredldotme Thanks for the answers. Seems that #OpenPrinting integrates well with #ubuntutouch .
You write

Means that the printer is moving its mechanics despite at least one ink cartridge being empty. With this I see a good chance that your printer would also scan with ink empty, which would be a big plus compared to many modern printers which do not scan when they are out of ink.
