Use as Windows Service
Run RawPrint as a background Windows service so it starts automatically on boot and keeps printing even when no user is logged in. This is done using NSSM — the Non-Sucking Service Manager.
1. Download NSSM from https://nssm.cc/download 2. Open an admin terminal, goto folder where nssm was extracted and run: nssm install RawPrint 3. In the NSSM GUI that opens, set: - Path: C:\rawPrintPath\rawprint.exe - Startup dir: C:\rawPrintPath - Arguments: config.ini 4. Click "Install service" 5. Start the service: nssm start RawPrint 6. If log is enabled you can check for updates each run To remove the service later: nssm stop RawPrint nssm remove RawPrint
