| 20 | ==================================================================== |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | PyKotIcon is a cross-platform client-side helper for PyKota. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | It is meant to be launched whenever the user logs in, and stay in |
|---|
| 25 | the taskbar (depending on the client operating system) until the |
|---|
| 26 | user closes his session. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | It's icon represents a green dollar sign when the user is still allowed |
|---|
| 29 | to print, and a red dollar sign when he is forbidden to print on at |
|---|
| 30 | least one printer. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | INSTALLATION : |
|---|
| 33 | -------------- |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | on the client : |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | $ python setup.py install |
|---|
| 38 | $ pykoticon pykota_server_ip_address 7654 |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | on the pykota server, in pykota.conf, just set : |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | --- CUT --- |
|---|
| 43 | overwrite_jobticket: /home/jerome/pykoticon/tests/test.py $PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME 7654 |
|---|
| 44 | --- CUT --- |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | NB : here we arbitrarily chose 7654 as the TCP port, please choose |
|---|
| 47 | any unused port for testing. The TCP port on client and server's |
|---|
| 48 | command line MUST be identical, however on the client (pykoticon) |
|---|
| 49 | side, the first parameter to pykoticon MUST be the print server's ip |
|---|
| 50 | address or hostname : this allows PyKotIcon to only accept requests |
|---|
| 51 | coming from your print server. In the future it will be possible to |
|---|
| 52 | do better filtering to allow several print servers for example. |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | NB2 : You need wxPython for PyKotIcon to work. |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | NB3 : Don't expect too much yet ! This release is for developpers only. |
