remarkable_printer VS reStream

Although RCU has a virtual printer, for printing from any system application, this can also be accomplished by installing evidlo/remarkable_printer. It is a fantastic piece of software that turns your tablet into a network printer, so you don't have to rely on reMarkable's limited and flaky plugins.

There is evidlo/remarkable_print, too, which gets installed to the tablet and makes it act as a network printer.

I use this: https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer

Print to rM - I love using this, such as when I need to read a pdf for a class, documentation, or even a news article. Just set it up depending on your OS, and then print from browser/file explorer or whatever program, to your rM. You can find it here.

This works well. All you need to do is get something in PDF or PNG format then "print to reMarkable". Literally takes like 2-3 seconds on average, maybe 10 seconds if laggy network.

printing to my reMarkable

A very creatively done workflow for sure. A tip I would perhaps use, permitting your work computer allows it is Print to reMarkable. I haven't set it up as I use rM Cloud but it does look pretty unobtrusive and promising. Seems more like you're just adding a bog standard printer to your list than any extra software.

Evidlo/remarkable_print is a great piece of software that lets you print directly from Windows to the reMarkable. It installs to the reMarkable, so it's not a plugin installed in the PC, so the tablet will appear as a regular printer on your network and there is zero extra software required on any PC. You can print to the tablet from any operating system, from any program.

I use this extension https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer which let me print documents to RM. I’ve added a printer to my work PC and print Word-documents to read.

If the goal is to share the visual contents of the pad, why not just stream the graphics over SSH?

I recommend checking out reStream: https://github.com/rien/reStream/

reStream is a fantastic way to get live video of your reMarkable's screen without signing up for the reMarkable Cloud (which flakes out often with LiveView).

reStream is what you're looking for. rMview used to have a reStream-like feature, but it hasn't been updated in a long while.

reStream should work, even with the latest firmware. I know there's a "brightness" issue, but I can't report it because I won't use GitHub. Someone submitted a hacky pull request to fix it by adjusting ffmpeg brightness settings, which should work.

Check out restream if you want an alternative, it doesnt work quite as well over wifi but over cable it’s not bad, and it’s free

But you can just ssh into the remarkable, it runs a Linux kernel. And then install software you want. I only use reSnap (which i wrote) and reStream

reStream worked well for me before rmview added ScreenShare support. The main downside with reStream is that the screen share is grayscale (as you see on the tablet), whereas rmview with ScreenShare has color support.

I've been using https://github.com/rien/reStream, personally.

I recently installed reStream on my reMarkable 2. The screen mirroring works, however I am experiencing extremely high latency (over 4 seconds) both when connected via USB and Wifi. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? From what I've read the latency is expected to be much lower (which would make it a lot more usable).
