DISCLAIMER: This is pretty much 100% AI generated. The project is kept really simple. Before you downvote, make me a generic webui for printers. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I made this project to fill a need I had. I am not collecting internet points here, I don't care if you don't like it.

I found Akronae's repo laying half broken on github, made it work, and thought it was a simple enough project that it could have a rewrite (it needed). I can not participate in Github so here you go, full new repo on an unreliable self-hosted forgejo instance. If you are interested, take it before my hardware fails again. :)

What is it?

It's a web UI to upload documents and print them. I wanted that to print from any device in my home with zero config on device (think guests, family...). It pairs very nicely with scanserv.js.

It looks like this:

Remarks are welcome, but I do not guarantee maintenance. As we have seen the trend of AI projects not being maintained in time, I don't expect this project to escape that fate.

And now an attempt to tag: @Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu

Edit: added one screenshot here and 2 other to the repo/readme and added the license GNU AGPLv3.

Edit2, 20260822: After many headaches, I started hosting also a registry (that thing needed to host container images ready to be pulled) and made prebuilt images for amd64/arm64 and started a proper release. You are welcome. Professional stuff, I tell you ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Edit3: Do NOT expose to the internet as of v1.0.0, critical security fixes incoming.

No "I made", no "please star", directly "100% AI generated FOR me". I like your style and the app looks pretty useful tbh.

I can't believe that we have "IA" but setting up a printer is still harder than self-hosting something in docker.

I'm upvoting for your openness and directness about your approach, what you will and won't do.

You built this for you and are sharing, for us to do with it as we will.

It's an interesting idea for basic printing.

Your whole attitude on this post is absolutely hilarious!

If it's a UI, screenshots are appreciated.

[-] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 days ago

You are absolutely right!

Just kidding. Anyway, added one screenshot to the post and 3 to the readme/repo.

Lol! Did you just answer like an AI? Classic!

I donโ€™t care if you donโ€™t like it.

I like your style bro. If you don't like it, you can go the way you came. Pretty damn refreshing. ^5

Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!

Iโ€™m reminded of those fucking Pharos servers my old college had us use back in the day and can only imagine what that cost to set up.
