SavaPage
SavaPage Open Print Portal adds a new dimension to office printing with an innovative Web App Solution. Users acquire PDF documents on a Personal Print Queue with PostScript Print, AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, or by uploading or emailing Office documents. The Print Queue can be previewed and edited with a Web App in a common Web Browser on any device. Office printers are made available from within the Web App, so it is easy to redirect acquired documents to any printer. Users have the choice to either tailor a print job in the Web App, or take advantage of several shortcut scenarios for effortless secure printing.
SavaPage offers Secure Authenticated PostScript Printing over the Internet, so users have Web App Printing at their fingertips, anytime, anyplace.
Moodle content can be PostScript printed to the Personal Print Queue, optionally over the Internet. With the SavaPage Moodle Block teachers and students can Single Sign-On to the Web App to continue the print work-flow right away.
Privileged users can print as Delegate on behalf of Delegators (other users). The cost is split over the Delegators and charged to their personal SavaPage accounts.
SavaPage has all the functions of a regular Print Management System, and more, like Pay-Per-Print, Secure Follow-Me Printing, Auditing, PDF Creation, LDAP (Active Directory) Integration, NFC Authentication, On-line Payments (Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, Bitcoin), Point-of-Sale Payments, Prepaid Print Cards, Job Tickets, etc . . .
Do I need to install my SavaPage server to test your plugin? Or would you have some "demo" account on a server to which I can connect?

Hi Rijk. Thanks for sharing the plugin with the Moodle community. Beside the question raised by Tomek above, I have to add couple of notes.
savapage/HOST
. They must start with a valid frankenstyle component and usually are in lowercase (so the expected would beblock_savapage/host
).For now I am marking this as needing more work. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process.
Thanks Rijk for providing an updated version promptly. The block implementation seems pretty straightforward and even if it does not follow the recommended coding guidelines for Moodle plugins much, it hopefully should not break things (as in fact all it does is just redirecting to configured host. Here are the most obvious parts you might want to implement / fix yet:
With the hope these issue will be addressed soon, you are cleared to land now. Welcome to the Plugins directory.
