emilda-print is a standalone client-side application that handles the EPD data Emilda sends for label and receipt printouts. An EPD document is a file produced by Emilda when a printout is needed. It contains the type of printout and the contents, in the case of a label the barcode number/string. emilda-print parses this document and based on it's config file sends the data to the appropriate printer in the right format for the printer in question. The easiest way to use emilda-print is to define it as the handler for EPD files (application/emilda-print-data) in the Internet browser used for Emilda.
emilda-print is available for Unixes and Windows.
The latest Unix version can be found on CVS, under the emilda-print module.
Alternatively, if you're running Debian you can add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and issue apt-get update ; apt-get install emilda-print

On Unix machines, the printers are defined in the config file.
