flutter_print 0.5.1

A Flutter plugin focusing on print, that's it. PDF, image, widget and other content.

0.5.1

• feat(android): Apply pageSize, margins and duplexMode to images, and print them at their real size and upright.
• fix(android): Fail with UNSUPPORTED_FILE for files that are neither PDF nor a supported image, instead of printing them as PDF. TIFF, and HEIC before Android 9, are not supported.
• fix(android): Return from print and printPreview once the job is sent, instead of waiting for the printer forever.
• feat(linux): Open the GTK print dialog in printPreview, pre-filled with the options, instead of the default viewer.
• chore(linux): Require CUPS at build time and drop the lp fallback.
• fix(windows, linux): Print images at their real size. Shrink only the images larger than the page.
• fix(linux): Find CUPS on distros whose cups.pc needs missing -dev packages (Ubuntu 26.04).
• fix(linux): Fix the build with CUPS (missing g_remove declaration).
• fix(linux): Send color and landscape to CUPS.
• fix(linux): Use the user's default printer and saved printer options. Fail with PRINTER_ERROR for an unknown printer.
• fix(linux): Select the paper by its size, so B4, B5, JIS, C5 and DL print on the right paper.
• fix(linux): Convert WebP and HEIC images in a temp file with a random name.
• fix(linux): Report colour, duplex, page size and max copies support in listPrinters.
• fix(linux): Fail with UNSUPPORTED_FILE when a WebP or HEIC image can't be converted, instead of sending it to CUPS.
• fix(linux): Print on a worker thread, so the app doesn't freeze while a job is sent.
• fix(linux): Fail printPreview with FILE_NOT_FOUND for a missing file.
• fix(linux): Fix listPrinters never answering, and leaking a thread on each call.
• feat(linux): Use the print portal in printPreview in Flatpak and Snap sandboxes.
• fix(linux): Stop the warning logged when print gets no options.
• fix(linux): Print images as PDF, so orientation works on every printer and GIF and BMP print.
• fix(linux): Print text at 10 pt, like on Windows.

0.5.0

• feat: Add page range print option (Windows, macOS, Linux).
• feat: Sort and merge page ranges. Throw ArgumentError on invalid ranges.
• fix(macos): Apply all print options in the print panel and follow paper changes made there.
• feat(macos): Print text, RTF, HTML and Word documents natively, with all options. Drop the lp fallback (App Sandbox); print fails with UNSUPPORTED_FILE for other file types.
• fix(macos): Don't crash on a negative or out-of-range copies.
• fix(macos): Print rotated and cropped PDF pages as displayed.
• fix(macos): Fail with PRINTER_ERROR for an unknown printerAddress instead of using the default printer.
• fix(ios): Complete pickPrinter when the picker can't be shown, and fail with NO_WINDOW instead of returning null without a view.
• fix(ios): Reject a print job while another one runs, instead of changing the open dialog.
• fix(ios): Present from the Flutter view, and anchor the iPad popover to its centre.
• fix(ios): Fail with PRINTER_ERROR for an invalid or unreachable printerAddress.
• feat(ios): Use photo output for images.
• feat(ios): Report availability, colour and duplex support of the printer from pickPrinter.
• feat(windows): Detect file types by content. Print all text files, WIC images (HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL…), all TIFF pages, and EMF/WMF files, with all options.
• feat(windows): Preview each sheet as the printer prints it, with its margins, and zoom in the preview.
• fix(windows): Open HTML, SVG and RTF files in their default app instead of printing their source.
• fix(windows): Default the print dialog to the caller's printer and the printer's paper size.
• fix(windows): Report cancelled or failed print jobs.
• fix(windows): Start each copy on a new sheet in duplex when the driver can't make the copies.
• fix(windows): Allow more copies than the driver makes in the print dialog.
