### Native Advantages:
- 🚀 No Python dependencies - pure PowerShell
- ⚡ Faster startup and lower memory usage
- 🛡️ Enterprise-ready with Microsoft components only
- 📦 Tiny footprint - minimal system impact
#### Chrome Integration:
- `chrome_extension/` - Complete Chrome extension
- `chrome_extension/manifest.json` - Extension configuration
- `chrome_extension/background.js` - Service communication
### Support:
- 📖 Read QUICK_SETUP_NATIVE.md for 3-minute setup guide

### 🛠️ Technical Features:
#### Printing Methods (Automatic Fallback):
1. Adobe Reader command line
2. SumatraPDF automation
3. PowerShell printing
4. Microsoft Edge integration
5. Windows system default
#### Service Architecture:
```
Quality Web App → Chrome Extension → Windows Service → Physical Printer
(localhost only) (port 8765) (any printer)
```
#### Service Endpoints:
- `GET /health` - Service health check
- `GET /printers` - List available printers
- `GET /status` - Service statistics
- `POST /print_pdf` - Print PDF (page-by-page supported)
### 🔒 Security & Performance:
- Runs on localhost only (127.0.0.1:8765)
- Memory usage: ~15-30 MB
- CPU usage: <1% (idle)
- Automatic temp file cleanup
- Secure PDF handling
### 🚨 Troubleshooting:
#### Service Won't Start:
```cmd
# Check service status
sc query QualityPrintService
# Check port availability
netstat -an | find "8765"
# View service logs
type "%USERPROFILE%\\PrintService\\logs\\print_service_*.log"
```
#### Python Issues:
The installer automatically detects Python or uses portable version.
If you see Python errors, ensure Python 3.7+ is installed.
#### Chrome Extension Issues:
1. Reload extension in chrome://extensions/
2. Check "Developer mode" is enabled
3. Verify service responds at http://localhost:8765/health
### 📞 Support:
1. Check README_COMPLETE.md for detailed documentation
2. Review INSTALLATION_COMPLETE.md for step-by-step guide
3. Check service logs for specific error messages
### 🎯 Why This Package is Better:
✅ Zero external dependencies (pure Python standard library)
✅ Works on any Windows system with Python
✅ Automatic service recovery and restart
✅ Multiple printing method fallbacks
✅ Complete documentation and support
✅ Chrome extension included
✅ Professional logging and error handling

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://localhost:8765/health
# Test printer endpoint
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://localhost:8765/printers
# Test from browser
start http://localhost:8765/status
```
### Chrome Extension Setup:
1. Open Chrome browser
2. Navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
3. Enable "Developer mode" toggle (top-right corner)
4. Click "Load unpacked" button
5. Browse and select the `chrome_extension` folder
6. Verify extension appears in the list with green toggle
## 🔍 Installation Verification
### Health Check Procedure:
1. **Service Status**: Verify Windows service is running
```cmd
sc query QualityPrintService | find "RUNNING"
```
2. **Network Connectivity**: Test HTTP endpoints
```cmd
curl http://localhost:8765/health
```
3. **Printer Detection**: Check printer enumeration
```cmd
curl http://localhost:8765/printers
```
4. **Extension Communication**: Test from web page
- Open the Quality app in Chrome
- Go to print module
- Verify "Extension ready" status
### Expected Responses:
**Health Check**:
```json
{
"status": "healthy",
"service": "Windows Print Service",
"version": "1.0.0",
"timestamp": "2025-09-25T10:30:00"
}
```
**Printer List**:
```json
{
"success": true,
"printers": [
{"name": "HP LaserJet", "type": "Local", "status": "Available"}
],
"count": 1
}
```
## 🚨 Troubleshooting Common Issues
### Issue: "Administrator privileges required"
**Solution**:
- Right-click installer file
- Select "Run as administrator"
- Confirm UAC prompt
### Issue: "Python not found"
**Solutions**:
1. Install Python from python.org
2. Use included portable Python
3. Add Python to system PATH
### Issue: "Service failed to start"
**Solutions**:
1. Check Windows Event Viewer:
- Windows Logs → Application
- Filter by source: "Service Control Manager"
2. Verify port 8765 is not in use:
```cmd
netstat -an | find "8765"
```
3. Check service logs:
```cmd
type "%USERPROFILE%\PrintService\logs\print_service_*.log"
```
### Issue: "Chrome extension not working"
**Solutions**:
1. Reload extension in `chrome://extensions/`
2. Check extension permissions
3. Verify service is responding at `localhost:8765`
4. Clear browser cache and cookies
### Issue: "PDF printing fails"
**Solutions**:
1. Install Adobe Reader or SumatraPDF
2. Check printer permissions
3. Verify PDF file accessibility
4. Test with different printer
## 🔄 Maintenance and Updates
### Regular Maintenance:
- **Log Cleanup**: Logs rotate automatically
- **Service Monitoring**: Check service status weekly
- **Chrome Extension**: Update when prompted
### Manual Service Management:
```cmd
# Stop service
sc stop QualityPrintService
# Start service
sc start QualityPrintService
# Restart service
sc stop QualityPrintService && timeout /t 3 && sc start QualityPrintService
# Change startup type
sc config QualityPrintService start= auto
```
### Log File Locations:
- Service logs: `%USERPROFILE%\PrintService\logs\`
- Windows Event Logs: Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application
- Chrome Extension: Chrome DevTools → Console
## 🔧 Advanced Configuration
### Custom Port Configuration:
Edit `print_service_complete.py`:
```python
server_address = ('localhost', 8765) # Change 8765 to desired port
```
### Custom Install Directory:
Edit `install_service_complete.bat`:
```batch
set INSTALL_DIR=C:\CustomPath\PrintService
```
### Service Recovery Options:
```cmd
sc failure QualityPrintService reset= 86400 actions= restart/5000/restart/10000/restart/30000
```
## 📋 Uninstallation
### Complete Removal:
1. Run `uninstall_service_complete.bat` as Administrator
2. Remove Chrome extension manually
3. Optional: Delete log files
### Manual Removal:
```cmd
# Stop and remove service
sc stop QualityPrintService
sc delete QualityPrintService
# Remove files
rmdir /s /q C:\QualityPrintService
rmdir /s /q "%USERPROFILE%\PrintService"
```
