Support for modes with larger labels? (B31, K3, etc.)

I got everything squared away with my B21 and it's going great.

But... I need bigger labels.

How does the library currently handle printing lines larger than 50mm for the uther models?

If I do purchase one of those and it's currently unsupported, what kinds of captures would you need for me to contribute?

It looks like the niimprint project is currently not maintained.

If you wish, you can try niimblue or niimbluelib-headless (for CLI usage). Here is a list of tested models.

If your new printer will not function properly, you can take a capture of one and three page prints. Later the research can be used in niimprint when it becomes maintained.

@Soggytoast111 sadly @MultiMote is right, currently I don't have enough time to give proper attention to this project, however I'm not planning to abandon it forever (probably will come back to it at the beginning of january). To make some traffic captures for new/untested printer models, I suggest using a windows machine with an official niimbot app + wireshark. You could also use a windows VM with USB passthrough or a rooted android phone to capture bluetooth. Captures can be submitted to #31
