[DRIVER REQUEST] Adafruit Thermal Printer

Open jacobhq opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I recently followed this guide, and set up the printer on Raspbian. Any ideas on how to get it to work with this project?

I have connected the printer via the txd, rxd and gnd pins on the raspberry pi zero, and it has power. I also have a ppd file with the info for the printer.

What I'm using

  • Printer - https://www.adafruit.com/product/597
  • Raspberry pi zero

Basically, I would like this to be able to detect serial printers.

This could also be related to lack of drivers, so any help on how to install those would be appreciated.

Hey @jacobhq! Let me take a look at the drivers required and see if we can add them. It would be a simple matter of installing them in the Docker build steps (like we did in #2).
