Hi!
Can orthnac works as a print server? If not do you have knowledge of an Opensource print server?
Thank you very Much!
Hello,
It really depends upon your needs.
Orthanc does not currently support the so-called “normalized operations” that are required in order to act as a “real” DICOM print server. This is on our long-term roadmap:
https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/src/Orthanc-1.3.1/TODO#TODO-92
However, you could configure your modality to send DICOM images to Orthanc, then implement a script that would monitor Orthanc for the arrival of new DICOM images using the REST API. Here is a sample Python script:
https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/src/Orthanc-1.3.1/Resources/Samples/Python/ChangesLoop.py
Once in the “NewInstanceReceived()” function of this script, you would retrieve a PNG preview of the file with the REST API of Orthanc, then use any Python printing library to send the image to your printer.
HTH,
Sébastien-
