How to print a text or picture from brightsign?

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

    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.

    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

    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a page on Github https://github.com/brightsign/BrightAuthor-Plugins/tree/master/PDF-Printer , but the files are long out of date or were made in previous versions

    Maybe some simple solution has appeared?

    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?

    Can't open the file, maybe it's corrupted or out of date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

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