libcapsraster: rasterizing documents

The libcapsraster provides an API to rasterize various document formats in order to convert them into the printer's wire data format by an printing provider.

This library requires libcapsbase, libcapstable, libcapsprovider, libcapsppd and libcapsmime.

Depending on the supported document formats further external libraries are required to rasterize:

  • PDF (aka. Portable Document Format)
    muPDF (at least version 1.0.0)
  • (externally) prerasterized print data
    libcups
Note
In order to build libcapsraster, the packages muPDF and/or CUPS must be present.
On my system the packages libcups2-dev are required for CUPS raster. For muPDF refer PDF rasterizer.
