We have a ethernet connected (PoE powered) receipt/label printer; with sufficient spare paper.

Drivers and programming manual at https://github.com/MakerSpaceLeiden/Manuals/tree/master/label-printer-BTP-R880NP and some example of ESC and GS raw sending

Software for OSX

Based on https://github.com/klirichek/zj-58 -- whose ESC/GS code seem to match the manual:

Fetch code:

 git clone https://github.com/klirichek/zj-58.git
 cd zj-58
 make

Create a directory for the raster tool:

 sudo mkdir /Library/Printers/ZJ
 sudo cp rastertozj /Library/Printers/ZJ

Point the PPD file to this raster file:

  vi CTP29X.ppd
  # change 
  *cupsFilter:            "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 /Library/Printers/ZJ/Filter/rastertozj"

ZIP up the PPD file and place it in the right place for OSX to pick it up:

 gzip CTP29X.ppd
 sudo cp ZJ-58.ppd.gz /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
