Hi Bruce,

I've never done this from cinder, but I would try calling an external application. e.g. lpr from OSX. On Windows maybe this stackoverflow question helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2301101/command-line-tool-for-print-picture.

ah, ok, so it's basically saving image to disk then print with another utility...

The way I've done this is in the past is with an AppleScript that automatically looks for files added to a folder and sends them to the printer.

If you are on a Mac you should also be able to print straight from your app using the CUPS API. Look at this OF addon for reference https://github.com/motoishmz/ofxCUPS

Basically, a printer is used for the printing, suggest the best printer at low cost.

what to do to refill printer ink at low cost?
