Hah, that is awesome! I originally wrote it because I was annoyed of having to keep the printer tethered to my PC and pray that a Windows update would not kill my print job - that was before SD cards let alone USB sticks became the norm, so it was even worse ๐ It has since taken over my life ๐ฌ
Well glad to say that I for one think it has been worth it, its a really nice tool and I think I would have given up using the printer in frustration long ago without it. The plugin system is really useful to add functionality too (I can't remember the name now but I have a screen on the PI so I can control the printer without using the main controls or having to use my PC).
