I'd like to build a print server that receives jobs over the network and can print them to an attached printer. We were thinking about utilizing websockets to notify the print server that a job is ready, so node came to mind. But it doesn't seem like node is the right tool for interfacing with a printer. If anyone has ideas on how to do this, I'd love to hear them.
I've been looking at projects such as node-qt and node-gui, but they don't seem to support any printing features yet. Although we prefer to use linux or OSX for everything, these print servers would be installed onsite at client locations. Besides the specific printers we need to print to only have Windows drivers at this time, so we will definitely need this to run on Windows platforms. Thanks for your thoughts.
