Requirements

You must have PhantomJS installed.

The easiest way is to install it from your software repositories (on Linux) or with brew (OS X). If you're on Windows, install it somewhere and set your path right (sorry can't help you there).

Installation

*nix

• Download nuprint.js to somewhere in your PATH
• Run chmod +x nuprint.js

Windows

• Download nuprint.js
• Note that you'll have to run "phantomjs \path\to\nuprint.js" instead of the "nuprint.js" you see in the usage below. You'll also have to set your login credentials as environment variables differently, I presume. I've never tested on windows so good luck.

Usage

Login credentials are set using environment variables (NUPRINT_USERNAME and NUPRINT_PASSWORD).

Print file1.pdf from NU library printers (2 copies) (requires login):

NUPRINT_USERNAME="myusername" NUPRINT_PASSWORD="mypass" nuprint.js --printer "ev-print\BW" --copies 2 file1.pdf

Print multiple files (requires login):

NUPRINT_USERNAME="myusername" NUPRINT_PASSWORD="mypass" nuprint.js --printer "ev-print\BW" file1.pdf file2.doc file3.ppt

List available printers:

nuprint.js --list-printers

List your print jobs (requires login):

NUPRINT_USERNAME="myusername" NUPRINT_PASSWORD="mypass" nuprint.js --list-jobs

For more help:

nuprint.js --help
