# totoro
A simple web interface to line printer daemon (lpd) printing
on OpenBSD.
May work on other unixes, or may not.
## Installation
These installation instructions assume OpenBSD.
Copy the perl script to the cgi-bin directory:
doas cp print.pl /var/www/cgi-bin/
### Perl
Install perl packages:
doas pkg_add p5-Any-URI-Escape p5-YAML p5-Clone
As of this writing, `Net::Printer` and `URI::Query` are not in openbsd
packages, so we'll install them locally. You may want to check if this has
changed.
To install them locally, first install `local::lib`:
doas pkg_add p5-local-lib
Then tell perl to install modules to `/var/www/perl5`:
PATH="/var/www/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;
PERL5LIB="/var/www/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"; export PERL5LIB;
PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="/var/www/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}}"; export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT;
PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"/var/www/perl5\""; export PERL_MB_OPT;
PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/var/www/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT;
Then install dependencies:
perl -MCPAN -e "use local::lib '/var/www/perl5'; install Net::Printer;"
perl -MCPAN -e "use local::lib '/var/www/perl5'; install URI::Query;"
### Daemons
Set up httpd and slowcgi:
NOTE: these instructions set up httpd and slowcgi without chroot.
Probably it can be made to work in a chroot.
Add to `/etc/httpd.conf`:
chroot "/"
logdir "/var/www/logs"
server "totoro" {
listen on * port 80
root "/var/www/htdocs"
# cgi
location "/" {
fastcgi socket "/var/www/run/slowcgi.sock"
root "/var/www/cgi-bin/print.pl"
}
location "/" {
root "/var/www/print.pl"
fastcgi socket "/var/www/run/slowcgi.sock"
}
}
Set daemon flags and start:
$ doas rcctl set slowcgi flags "-p /"
$ doas rcctl enable httpd slowcgi
$ doas rcctl start httpd slowcgi
If your printer is not already set up yet, read up on lpd(8) and printcap(5).
## Usage
Place any jobs files into `/var/www/jobs`.
