Install a thermal printer driver on RBerry PI 3 B+

[jordivuong]

Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum and also on RBerry (and non native english speaker, excuse my english).

I'd like to install thermal printer drivers on NOOBS and it looks like I'm not really aware of how to do.
Here's what i got from the constructor website :


I tried many things in the command, but nothing works.

Is anyone have any idea of what are the steps to follow for installing that driver ?

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, that driver doesn't work for the 80 mm printers, though

There is a modified driver (source code) for the 80 mm printers. I'm using it. It doesn't seem to be perfect though, I'm getting frequent corruption on the start of the print, but the rest is fine.

Hi guys,

Sorry for not answering... Thanks you for your answers.

I'm still in troubles with that printer. Here is where I am no :
- I installed cups (most recent version) on my pi
- I successfully installed the driver for the printer

But it does not work when I try to print anything or even to print the test page (error log below).

Now I try to install cups 1.5.4, but it constantly fail, and I don't understand why.

I found some guys in troubles with that printer on github but no solutions : https://github.com/IntegersOfK/Hoin-POS-58-80/issues

@rpdom
You said that there is a modified driver for the 80 mm printers. Could you share it with me ?

Thanks a lot

I'm trying to remember where I found the modified code for the 80mm printer. I believe it was on github. I just needed to compile it and do some quick installation.

Actually, I think it was this one: https://github.com/francoisbouffardtrio/ZJ-8001

[scruss]

Now I try to install cups 1.5.4, but it constantly fail, and I don't understand why.

These printers should work fine with the stock Raspbian CUPS. It's the driver that's likely to be the main issue.

Now I try to install cups 1.5.4, but it constantly fail, and I don't understand why.

These printers should work fine with the stock Raspbian CUPS. It's the driver that's likely to be the main issue.

They do.
I'm using a standard Raspbian Stretch Lite install with cups 2.2.1-8+deb9u2 and the driver that I previously posted.

I do have some problems with the first few lines of print getting mangled at times, but after some investigation I suspect it may be the printer at fault.

Thanks for sharing the driver.

It looks like it's the good one (my printer is an excelvan too), bu I got some troubles for installing.
When I installed I had to change a line in the install file (changing a "ZJ-58.ppd" to a "ZJ-58.ppd").

Here is what I got :

Then impossible to run the orinter cause the ppd did not copied.
So I tried to do it manually by the cup GUI, but then impossible to access to the "add printer" because of "forbidden".

Don't execute the Makefile. Just do:

Code: Select all

make

(and no sudo)
Did you install the required packages?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev git build-essential cups system-config-printer

Hi, I'm trying to print 80mm on my excelvan printer, using the ZJ-8001 driver linked above -

Can anyone tell me quite literally what i'm supposed to do with the files in this zip package? like the install / ppd etc?

Can anyone help me here? Sorry I'm very new to this

[scruss]

The linked 8001 driver hasn't seen as much love as klirichek / zj-58, which now (supposedly) supports 80 mm printers. So maybe forget that zip file.

** I don't have an 80 mm printer. This is untested **

I'm also assuming you're using a desktop rather than minimal install, because the desktop's system-config-printer is good and the command line method isn't.

Try this (lightly modified from Building and installing):

Code: Select all

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev system-config-printer
git clone https://github.com/klirichek/zj-58.git
cd zj-58
mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..
cmake --build .
make
sudo make install

Now go through the desktop's Preferences → Printer menu and add your printer. You'll probably need your password a couplle of times

Thanks for your reply, this looks like a god step forward but I'm still having this same issue which is that my printer still is only printing with the 58mm format, instead of 80mm

So I ran the code you sent in my terminal on my RPi4, downloaded the new zip folder you provided (thanks) and proceeded to install a new printer on CUPS, and going through the usual steps expect this time selecting the .ppd (ZJ-80.ppd) provided in the new zip. It seems to like this PPD, as before with the previous ZJ-80.ppd I got a 'Bad PPD' message. Despite all of this, when selecting the new printer on my computer and sending a print file from photoshop, I'm still only getting 58mm coverage

Is there anything else I should have done, like something with the install file or the cmake or rasterzog etc?

Thanks for your help so far anyway!

Sorry, don't know.

One detail: your printer has a 72 mm print width. At 8 dots/mm, you've got 576 dots across the page. You basically want zero margins because you've got 4 mm margins at the side you can do nothing about. If you send the printer a page size it doesn't know about, it'll scale it down to fit.

TBH, the paper sizes look wrong in the zj80.ppd from the zj-58 package, but seem better in the ZJ-8001 one. I don't think you can copy one to the other and expect it to work
