TEPID Client

Client program to bind printers and send jobs to TEPID-server

Test

Client is able to run directly from the main method, as all necessary bindings are done at runtime.

You may call the main method at ca.mcgill.science.tepid.client.Main, or run gradlew run to launch the main method from the gradle wrapper.

Build

You may look at the gradle panel for a list of valid commands.

All output will be located under [out] = $buildDir/libs.

You are free to mix and match commands.

Notable commands:

Command	Description
run	Launches the main method
clean	Delete [out]
jar	Build jar file in [out]
tepidWindows	Build jar and copy all files (including exe and ini) to $buildDir/libs`
tepidLinux	Build jar and copy all libs to [out]
commandLinux	Launch Tepid (assuming files are already built)

Run

Windows: cd [out]; tepid.exe
The error com.jacob.com.ComFailException: Invoke of: Put_ when launching WindowsPrinterMgmt is usually fixed by installing "Xerox Global Print Driver PS" from the Xerox website (sometimes you may need to add a fake printer to force Windows to install the driver before it works)

• Install Xerox Global Print Driver PS from the Xerox Website. The correct version is V3.
• Extract the contents of the driver folder. This is usually a .zip. Place it somewhere in C:\ like C:\Xerox
• Try adding a local printer. Look for the driver in the list of manufacturers and drivers. If you can't find it, select "I have a disk..." and navigate to the installed driver folder.

Linux: java -classpath "[out]/*" ca.mcgill.science.tepid.client.Main
(This is the same as commandLinux)

Update

• Updating tepid involves changing the java code.
• The libs used in gradle are copied automatically to the build file upon jar creation, so make sure that the production directory contains the same libraries
• The ini file contains the lib path (libs) and the classpath for Main.java. Make sure those are changed accordingly.
