That looks really useful.<p>But, also, wow! Windows-only and AGPLv3 is not a combination I think I&#x27;ve ever seen before.

OT: someone please make a RPi image that &quot;prints&quot; a page to an eink display. I want to duct-tape an RPi Zero and a rechargeable battery to the back of a display, then be able to print recipes to it while cooking. Other people might print board-game rules or speech notes while rehearsing -- anything that you&#x27;d typically print and then throw away after brief usage.<p>I know I could make a PDF, sideload it to a Kindle, etc. Too many steps. I just want the display to appear as a printer on my phone.

We need more things like this. I know people don&#x27;t like Windows Server because it is not open source, but it is simple to use and get up and running. Also, user management is easy.

For Windows only.<p>Abandonware.

Why use Tesseract for this? Windows&#x27; built-in OCR is so much better in my experience.

This is an incredible idea! I really like it because it sounds so obvious after being exposed to it but I never thought of it before! I wonder what other ways we could integrate GPT&#x27;s, LLM&#x27;s, and other AI into the simple &quot;Print&quot; functionality across all our devices.
