# LabelPrint
### Automated barcode label generation and printing in Python

*Note: This package only works on Windows at the moment. With some minor rework, it could work on Linux too, that's just not a priority for my purposes at the moment.*

# Creating Labels

*(More help coming soon)*

# Testing Labels

There are two ways to test your label layouts. You can write a simple Python script to generate a label, or you can add some code to your HTML file to import the script and create a preview when opened in your browser.

# Printing Labels

Printing your label with labelprint is easy! Simply call `label.printPDF`.

# Classes & Methods

## label.py
- `make(htmlFile: str[, outFile: str|BinaryIO], data: dict) -> None|bytes`\
	If `outFile` is a BinaryIO object, the PDF is written into it.\
	If `outFile` is None, raw PDF bytes are returned.
- `getPrinters() -> list[PrinterInfo]`
- `printPDF(fileName: str, ptrName: str[, printOpts: dict]) -> None`

### Printer Info
- `pPrinterName: str` Device name (give this to printPDF)
- `Offline: bool` Whether the printer is offline
- [See MSDN for PRINTER_INFO_2 structure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/printdocs/printer-info-2)

## web.py
- `Options: dict`
- `startDriver() -> ChromiumDriver` Start webdriver or return current instance.
- `stopDriver(force=False)` Shutdown webdriver in background after `Options.timeout`, or immediately if `force` is True.
- `getDriver() -> ChromiumDriver|None` Get global webdriver instance.
- `get(uri: str, timeout: float)` Get `uri` or raise TimeoutError if it can't be retrieved after `timeout` secs.
