emilda-print
============

*THIS IS INCORRECT INFORMATION*

emilda-print is the client-side printing utility for labels, receipts and normal documents.
It receives from the server a document which contains information on the kind of document it is,
what printer to use (or default for the type) and the actual data. The data itself can be just
an integer for labels (barcodes), or a Postscript page for a normal document.

All configuration is done in a config file and a GUI status dialog can be shown if wanted.
The print data sent from the server should always be sent in a very generic format. emilda-print
has a printer database which defines templates for different printers/print types. It is a
basic binary file with contains certain strings which are replaced by the program with info
obtained from the server. The resulting binary data is meant to be sent directly to the printer,
according to the configuration file.
