How to print an entire .chm file with CUPS?

JockVSJock · 08-28-2006, 10:48 PM

So I have a document in .chm form that I'm trying to print out, and I'm using CUPS.

How do I print the whole thing out, so far, the only way I'm printing this out is page-by-page, which is alot of work...

thanks

Might I ask how you are printing it now?

I use kchm and CUPS to print, and I have to click the print button for each page that I want to print.

According to the chmdeco project, there are multiple files that are encoded into the .chm file. It wasn't able to decode a couple that I had laying around (and kchm was able to view). If you can extract the original files, it should be trivial to write a script which loops through them and sends them to a printer.

Only problem? Most of the CHM converters are Windows-only

Microsoft announced some security risks associated with the .CHM format, as well as some security bulletins and patches [1]. They have since announced their intentions not to develop the .CHM format further, and will be moving to a new generation of Windows Help in the Windows Vista operating system.
