Introduction

 

The CPU (Code printing Utility) is a source code printing utility designed by a Programmer for Programmers to save time and money. It takes care of formating and printing your source code while you concentrate on writing code. Therefore it saves your time. It prints upto 94 lines per page, 130 characters per line and both sides of the page, so it saves upto about 75% of your paper thereby saves money. It can speak and understand any language as long as your code is a text file. That means you may print source code of any language like C, C++, Visual Basic, Cobol, Algol, PL/SQL, Transact SQL and many others. You can print even any text file as well. The print out gives you the complete picture of your source, easy to read, lot of information in one page.

The CPU is especially helpful for people using network printer. In a network environment, from the print out, it is impossible to identify the owner, and usually mixed up with the print out of other people. The CPU has solution for that. It prints user name, page number, filename, date time etc. in the title bar of each page. So it is easy to identify the owner and will not mixed up as the print out have filename and page number.

How to use it

Please note that this utility works ONLY with laser printer(HP LeserJet III or higher or compatible).

Follow the following steps to print your source code:
Step1: Select a source code or text file by clicking on "Select File" button.
Step2: Enter your name in the "User Name" text box (Optional).
Step3: Click on "Create Image" button to create the image file.
          It will create an image file in the same directory as the source file.
          An extension .cpu will be added to the new file name.
Step4: Finally click on "Print" button.

Please note that not all the options are available in this demo version. Full version is still under development. UNIX version is available.
