# HP ePrint like service clone (web edition) 

This is a HP ePrint clone that has similar functions to normal HP ePrint but its on the web and it is not HP printer specific

## Prerequisites

- Go (1.23.1 or later)

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
   ```
   git clone https://git.fluffy.pw/matu6968/web-hp-eprint-clone
   ```

2. Go to the project directory:
   ```
   cd web-hp-eprint-clone
   ```

3. Build the binary:
   ```
   go build -o web-hp-eprint
   ```

## Configuration

In the .env file this is the only thing you can set

```
PORT=8080
LOG=log # enables file logging (aka copies file to user home directory under the folder imagelog so make a folder first in the home root if you wish to enable it), to disable it replace it with nolog
```

### For this to even work

Setup a printer on your host by connecting it over USB or WiFi and then adding the printer in your OS

and put the eprintcloned script (ePrint clone daemon aka it handles the printing) in the "/usr/bin" folder !IMPORTANT! you need to modify the script to include your printer name (it is at the top and is called printer and not the one used in the included configuration in the repository

for example change it from
```
#!/bin/bash

printer=examplename # replace this with your actual printer name before putting it into /usr/bin
```
to
```
#!/bin/bash

printer=Deskjet-2600 # replace this with your actual printer name before putting it into /usr/bin
```
