There is an issue to send files from player to printer.
Is there any script or command to do that?

Nathan Brown Not too sure how possible this would be since you would need specific print drivers installed, which to my knowledge, there is currently no way of doing that.
One thought I had would be, run a script that generates a PDF and then emails it or uploads it somewhere so you can access the PDF and print it off at your own computer. That would take some additional programming and is dependent on a few variables with how you are running your signage, for example, that would really only work if you are connected to the internet and displaying signage through a webpage.

krt It's interesting
But how to make it if i had to use only bs player and printer without internet connection? -
krt An image, for epxample

krt Good idea but it must be direct connection player-printer
An image would be printed by pushing a button on gpio
I saw script "print pdf" on github
But haven't checked it yet -
krt A lot of time has passed, but the solution has not appeared)
There was a page on Github https://github.com/brightsign/BrightAuthor-Plugins/tree/master/PDF-Printer , but the files are long out of date or were made in previous versionsMaybe some simple solution has appeared?

Bright Scripters I'm curious. Have you tried the example from github?
Also, the plugin streams files to a networked printer. Does that fit your application?
What type of files are you interested in printing?

krt Can't open the file, maybe it's corrupted or out of date
It's supposed to print screenshots from the content
For example, stop the video and send what is on the screen to print

krt Best way to solve the issue without network or server, like BS to printer via lan or else
