Steps

  1. Install and run the required local server application on the machine that will talk to the printer, since the Local API is served by that helper application rather than the printer directly.
  2. Use the Local API to query local-network printer status without needing an internet connection or launching PreForm.
  3. Submit a prepared print job to the printer through the Local API's job endpoints instead of using the PreForm GUI.
  4. Reference the versioned Local API HTML reference for the exact endpoint and schema your installed server version implements.
