- A printer on your local network that you can print to and that your selected printer can access.

1 The package doesn't officially support PHP 8.0, but it should still run on that version.
Driver Requirements
PrintNode
- A PrintNode account and api key.
- A local computer/server that can run the PrintNode client software - this computer/server will need to be able to print to any printers you wish to use.
CUPS
- A local print server running CUPS on the same network as any printers you are going to print to. See this guide for help.
{note} When using CUPS you can either use a local CUPS server that runs on the same server as your Laravel installation (useful for local development), or you can specify an IP address, username, and password for a remote CUPS server. The remote CUPS server must be on the same network as any printers you are going to print to.
