**label-printer.py**
|
||
|
||
This is a small python webserver intended to run on a testing network resource where the `lf_kinstall.pl` script can post build machine information to. A useful place to install this script would be on an APU2 being used as a VPN gateway.
|
||
|
||
Use these commands to install **LaTeX** and **html2ps**:
|
||
`apt install perlmagick libwww-perl libhtml-parser-perl libpaper-utils ghostscript weblint-perl texlive-base postscript-viewer xhtml2ps html2ps`
|
||
|
||
Consider these commands to install printer drivers:
|
||
|
||
**Dymo LabelWriter-450:**
|
||
`apt install printer-driver-dymo`
|
||
|
||
**Brother QL-800:**
|
||
`$ sudo apt install brother-cups-wrapper-common brother-cups-wrapper-extra brother-lpr-drivers-common brother-lpr-drivers-extra`
|
||
|
||
Download drivers here:
|
||

|
||
|
||
Install driver using:
|
||
`$ sudo dpkg -i dymo*.dpkg`
|
||
|
||
Use these commands to install the script:
|
||
|
||
$ sudo cp label-printer.py /usr/local/bin
|
||
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/label-printer.py
|
||
|
||
$ sudo cp label-printer.service /lib/systemd/system
|
||
$ sudo systemctl add-wants multi-user.target label-printer.service
|
||
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||
$ sudo systemctl restart label-printer.service
|
||
|
||
At this point, if you use `ss -ntlp` you should see this script listening on port 8082.
|
||
|
||
If you are running `ufw` on your label-printer host, please use this command to allow
|
||
traffic to port 8082:
|
||
|
||
`$ sudo ufw allow 8082/tcp`
|
||
`$ sudo ufw reload`
|
||
|
||
**Using kinstall to print labels:**
|
||
|
||
Dymo LabelWriter:
|
||
`$ ./lf_kinstall.pl --print-label http://192.168.9.1:8082/ --printer LabelWriter-450`
|
||
|
||
Brother QL-800:
|
||
`$ ./lf_kinstall.pl --print-label http://192.168.9.1:8082/ --printer QL-800`
|
||
|
||
Note that the QL-800 printer driver installs an *example* printer queue named **QL800** which is misleading. Please ignore that. When the printer is plugged in, a **QL-800** printer queue will be created, which is the true queue to print to.
