Printer Setup

Print directly to campus printers on Windows.

Official Rust repository: hitblast/preprintd

Command Prompt (CMD) Setup

1. User Setup (Standard / Non-Admin)

Paste directly into CMD:

powershell -Command "$d = \"$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $d | Out-Null; $py = \"$d\printer.py\"; if (-not (Test-Path $py)) { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabbirba/preconnect/refs/heads/main/printer.py\" -OutFile $py -UseBasicParsing }; Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security; $e = [System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData]::Protect([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(\"<WORKER_KEY>\"), $null, [System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtectionScope]::CurrentUser); $k = \"DPAPI:\" + [Convert]::ToBase64String($e); Set-Content \"$d\printer.bat\" \"@echo off`r`nstart /b pythonw `\"$py`\" `\"$k`\"\" -Force; Start-Process pythonw -ArgumentList \"`\"$py`\" `\"$k`\"\""

2. Admin Setup (Administrator)

Paste directly into CMD (as Administrator):

powershell -Command "$d = \"$env:ProgramData\printer\"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $d | Out-Null; $py = \"$d\printer.py\"; if (-not (Test-Path $py)) { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabbirba/preconnect/refs/heads/main/printer.py\" -OutFile $py -UseBasicParsing }; Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security; $e = [System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData]::Protect([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(\"<WORKER_KEY>\"), $null, [System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtectionScope]::LocalMachine); $k = \"DPAPI:\" + [Convert]::ToBase64String($e); schtasks /Create /TN \"printer\" /TR \"pythonw `\"$py`\" `\"$k`\"\" /SC ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST /F; schtasks /Run /TN \"printer\""

PowerShell Setup

1. User Setup (Standard / Non-Admin)

Run in PowerShell:

$d = "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $d | Out-Null; $py = "$d\printer.py"; if (-not (Test-Path $py)) { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabbirba/preconnect/refs/heads/main/printer.py" -OutFile $py -UseBasicParsing }; Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security; $e = [System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData]::Protect([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("<WORKER_KEY>"), $null, [System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtectionScope]::CurrentUser); $k = "DPAPI:" + [Convert]::ToBase64String($e); Set-Content "$d\printer.bat" "@echo off`r`nstart /b pythonw `"$py`" `"$k`"" -Force; Start-Process pythonw -ArgumentList "`"$py`" `"$k`""

2. Admin Setup (Administrator)

Run in PowerShell as Administrator:

$d = "$env:ProgramData\printer"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $d | Out-Null; $py = "$d\printer.py"; if (-not (Test-Path $py)) { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabbirba/preconnect/refs/heads/main/printer.py" -OutFile $py -UseBasicParsing }; Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security; $e = [System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData]::Protect([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("<WORKER_KEY>"), $null, [System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtectionScope]::LocalMachine); $k = "DPAPI:" + [Convert]::ToBase64String($e); schtasks /Create /TN "printer" /TR "pythonw `"$py`" `"$k`"" /SC ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST /F; schtasks /Run /TN "printer"

Debug Mode

powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sabbirba/preconnect/refs/heads/main/printer.py\" -OutFile \"printer.py\" -UseBasicParsing; python printer.py \"<WORKER_KEY>\" --debug"

Uninstall

CMD

Paste into CMD:

powershell -Command "schtasks /Delete /TN \"printer\" /F 2>$null; Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Filter \"Name='pythonw.exe' or Name='python.exe'\" | Where-Object { $_.CommandLine -like '*printer*' } | ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_.ProcessId -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }; $s=\"$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\"; Remove-Item \"$s\printer.*\" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; Remove-Item \"$env:ProgramData\printer\" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue"

PowerShell

Run in PowerShell:

schtasks /Delete /TN "printer" /F 2>$null; Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Filter "Name='pythonw.exe' or Name='python.exe'" | Where-Object { $_.CommandLine -like '*printer*' } | ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_.ProcessId -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }; $s="$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"; Remove-Item "$s\printer.*" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; Remove-Item "$env:ProgramData\printer" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
