Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/404

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

I own multiple models of real printers. I'd like to be able to have multiple virtual printers always running so I can send to them without having to go into bambuddy to reconfigure them to a new model every time I change which type of printer I am sending to.

Proposed Solution

Some way to run a small docker or another type of install that would only be the virtual printer, that would send it back to the "main" instance of Bambuddy.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

Print Archiving

Priority

Would improve my workflow

Mockups or Examples

I do not have any mockups.

Contribution

I would be willing to help implement this feature

Forgot to mention in the docs, that you need to add interface aliases.

So if you want to add a second virtual printer you need a new interface and ip address for it.

You can add a new interface alias via CLI "ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.255.88/24 up". After that the interface is visible in settings and can be selected.

Will add it to the docs later.
