Short:        AirPrint/IPP printer driver for Amiga
Author:       Andreas "Andiweli" Stuermer
Uploader:     Andreas "Andiweli" Stuermer
Type:         driver/print
Version:      1.2
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0

AmiAirPrint is a native AirPrint/IPP printer solution for classic AmigaOS.
It integrates with the standard printer.device system and prints directly to
IPP/AirPrint network printers without a PC print server or CUPS.

Main features:

- AmigaOS 3.0+ and Motorola 68000 compatible
- PWG Raster graphics printing through printer.device
- color and monochrome output
- Portrait and Landscape
- paper/media, quality and color-mode selection
- 10-100% graphics scaling and optional centering
- GadTools preferences program for AmigaOS 3.0/3.1
- ReAction preferences program for AmigaOS 3.2+
- locale.library/catalog support with built-in English fallback
- AmiAirPrint.cd included for third-party translations
- IPP capability query and test page
- automatic printer discovery

Verified with version 1.1:

- Personal Paint color graphics printing
- MultiView graphics printing
- IBrowse text-only printing
- built-in monochrome test page
- automatic discovery and selection of printer(s)

Added with version 1.2:

- Added duplex printing support (long-edge / short-edge)
- Added paper source / tray selection
- Added printer capability-based DPI selection
- Added PDF and PostScript output support alongside PWG Raster
- Added Advanced print settings for ReAction and GadTools
- Added SSDP discovery in addition to mDNS/DNS-SD
- Improved compatibility with printers using non-standard HTTP/IPP behavior
- Fixed FinalWriter striped printing / endless blank pages
- Fixed Wordworth multi-page and duplex printing
- Improved PWG multi-page handling and test page output
- Improved diagnostics and error reporting


Requirements:

- a TCP/IP stack providing bsdsocket.library
- an IPP/AirPrint-capable network printer reachable by IPv4 address

After installation, select AirPrint as the printer driver and Parallel as the
port in the normal AmigaOS Printer preferences. Parallel is only a required
compatibility selection; AmiAirPrint sends its data directly through
airprint.device.

Known limitations in version 1.0:

- IBrowse's printer path is text-only and may print image ALT placeholders
- PRD_RAWWRITE is not treated as portable text output
