This Python script implements a Telegram bot that can print images and stickers sent by users. The bot supports resizing images, converting them to grayscale, and applying gamma correction before printing to ensure maximum quality.
Currently, you can set any command to print your sticker (by default brother_ql is used to print). You can use any external program you want to print to other brands and models of printers.
It is important to use "continuous" rolls when using Brother printers, aka ones which are not precut and have an endless roll of thermal paper. Although you can also use smaller sizes, 62mm wide rolls are suggested.
You can install the requirements by running this command:
`python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`
If this is the first time running the script and your printer uses the `lp` protocol, remember to add your user to the `lp` group using the following command:
Before running the script, you need to set up the configuration parameters. You can use "config.example.py" as a guide (rename it to config.py). The following parameters must be defined:
* API_ID: Your Telegram API ID. You can obtain it by creating a Telegram application
* API_HASH: Your Telegram API hash. You can obtain it from the same page where you got the API ID.
* BOT_TOKEN: The token for your Telegram bot. You can create a new bot and obtain the token by following the instructions here.
* ADMIN_ID: Your user id. This is the user that will receive administrative rights and error reports.
* PRINT_COMMAND: Adjust with your printer model and path.
