Print Dog

Watch a directory and automatically print PDF files as soon as they finish downloading.

Install

Install directly from the source checkout (editable)

pip install -e .

Once published to PyPI, anyone can install with:

pip install print-dog

Usage

Run the watcher with the console script that gets installed:

print-dog /path/to/watch --printer My_Printer

The folder argument is optional; if omitted the watcher monitors ~/Downloads. Use --log-level DEBUG for verbose logging.

If you omit --printer, the system default printer is used. Set it via lpoptions -d <printer-name> or list printers with lpstat -p.

Testing without a printer

• Use --dry-run to simulate printing while keeping the watcher logic intact.

• Or provide a custom command that receives the file path, e.g.:

  print-dog --print-command "echo printing {file}"
  

Building a distribution

Use python -m build (requires pip install build) to produce source and wheel distributions that can be uploaded to PyPI with twine upload dist/*. The resulting package installs the print-dog command on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
