Receipt printer
Revision as of 23:14, 27 July 2024 by MarkKlaauw (talk | contribs)
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
