#Upgrade from v1 to v2

#Your Environment

You will need to ensure your environment supports php v8, and your laravel installation must be running on at least version 8.16.

#Driver Dependencies

In v2, laravel-printing no longer automatically requires the third-party dependencies required for each driver. Unless you are using a custom driver, you will need to pull in one of the following dependencies depending on which driver you are using:

• PrintNode: composer require printnode/printnode-php
• CUPS: composer require smalot/cups-ipp

#PrintTask Contract

If you have any custom drivers created and are implementing the Rawilk\Printing\Contracts\PrintTask interface, you will need to update the following method signatures:

• public function printer(Printer|string|null|int $printerId): self;
