WinPrint

A modern take on the classic source code printing app from 1988.

Human and AI Agent friendly print utility with syntax highlighting, multiple pages-up, headers/footers. Cross platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) GUI, TUI, and CLI. Print source code, web pages, and reports generated by legacy systems.

The wp terminal UI renders true print previews as sixel graphics, without leaving the terminal: page through a document, zoom in, pan smoothly with the mouse, switch sheet definitions, and open another file.

Installation

Windows

winget install Kindel.WinPrint

macOS

brew install --cask winprint

Graphical Interface

(This is the soon to be depericted WinForms based GUI. An almost identical-looking Maui-based GUI that works on both Mac and Windows is available).

Command Line Interface

Count sheets without printing and emit a JSON envelope:

wp Program.cs --what-if --json

Print a file to a named printer:

wp Program.cs --printer "Microsoft Print to PDF" --title "Program.cs"

Print with language override:

cat profile.ps1 | wp --language powershell --title "PowerShell profile"

Get machine-readable command metadata:

wp --opencli

See the User's Guide for complete CLI documentation.
