Support for LabelManager 280
pschonmann opened this issue · 42 comments
Hi i have Linux mint and when run program i got this error message
The device 'Dymo LabelManager PnP' could not be found on this system.
When i print test page in printer dialog, printer works.
Im using Label Manager 280
Hi @pschonmann, that's because the Label Manager 280 is different from the LabelManager PnP.
It would be nice to support other models like this one, but it would probably take some work. Would you be interested in figuring out and implementing an interface for this model?
Hi, thanks for fast reply.
Im interested, but have no python programming skills.
Are you able to make sense of this? I think that figuring out the device IDs is probably the place to start.
Although this was almost 10 years ago, and I suspect there's an easier way now. I'd actually like to rewrite this whole project.
Hi!
I just got the LabelManager 280 as well, and noticed it's not working with dymoprint :(
In dmesg it looks like this:
usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0922, idProduct=1005, bcdDevice= 1.00

If you have any ideas how to make it work I'd be glad to test them, unfortuantely my skills aren't up to the task of reverse-engineering it from scratch....
Ah, and i tried changing the ProoductIDs in udev and usb_modeswitch, no dice :(
Hi @Scorcerer, thanks for the detailed logs, that's very helpful. For how to proceed, please see my comments here: #30 (comment) In particular, you should focus on getting usb_modeswitch to work. (The usb_modeswitch tool sends a magical 3-byte packet 1B 5A 01 which actually enables the printer device as opposed to the storage device with the Windows drivers.)
So, i started with:
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0922:1005 Dymo-CoStar Corp. DYMO LabelManager 280
Then i ran:
$ usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0922 --default-product 1005 --message-content 1B5A01
Look for default devices ...
Found devices in default mode (1)
Access device 013 on bus 001
Get the current device configuration ...

Use interface number 0
with class 7
Use endpoints 0x02 (out) and 0x81 (in)
Looking for active drivers ...
Set up interface 0
Use endpoint 0x02 for message sending ...
Trying to send message 1 to endpoint 0x02 ...
OK, message successfully sent
Reset response endpoint 0x81
Reset message endpoint 0x02
-> Run lsusb to note any changes. Bye!
Afterwards it's still:
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0922:1005 Dymo-CoStar Corp. DYMO LabelManager 280
I also tried:
$ usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0922 --default-product 1005 --message-endpoint 01 --message-content 1B5A01
Look for default devices ...
Found devices in default mode (1)

Trying to send message 1 to endpoint 0x01 ...
Sending the message returned error -1. Try to continue
Reset response endpoint 0x81
Reset message endpoint 0x01
Could not reset endpoint (probably harmless): -5
-> Run lsusb to note any changes. Bye!
But same thing, no change. Can it be that a different magic string is needed to make it work?

$ lsusb | grep 0922
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 0922:1002 Dymo-CoStar Corp. There are a few minor differences which may be worth looking into (like setting the response endpoint). It could certainly be that the magic string is different. I'm honestly no expert on this stuff, and have no idea.
If you have access to a Windows machine, maybe you could try to see if you could sniff the message. But then again, if the mode switching string is different, probably all the other control strings are different, so it's probably not worthwhile.
I just now saw that i posted in wrong lsusb -v codeblock. This is the right one:

I'll try to install it via CUPS with the official driver and let you know about the results (seeing it's reported as printer, maybe it'll "just work"
Can you post yours for comparison, before and after modeswitch?

@Scorcerer, I just took a look at your lsusb codeblock, and it does indeed appear that the device is already exposing a printer without using usb_modeswitch.
So side-by side it looks like there are minor differences in endpoint addresses and stuff, but both devices announce themselves as printers (mine from the beginning, hours after usb_modeswitch)
Would it be possible for dymoprint to accept different addressing or stuff? Idk how it talks to the printer, but from what i see here, this should be working....
@Scorcerer, how are your Python skills? Can you manage an editable install? (i.e. git clone, and then pip install -e .)
Changed like this:

The device 'Dymo LabelManager 280' could not be found on this system.
Looks fundamentally good. With the editable install, you should be able to modify the source code without the need to reinstall.
This is the part of code which we need to diagnose.
You should be able to run python, or more conveniently ipython, and then run
from dymoprint.constants import (
DEV_CLASS,
DEV_NAME,
DEV_NODE,
DEV_PRODUCT,
DEV_VENDOR,
FONT_SIZERATIO,
USE_QR,
QRCode,
e_qrcode,
)
from dymoprint.utils import getDeviceFile
dev = getDeviceFile(DEV_CLASS, DEV_VENDOR, DEV_PRODUCT)
devFor me, the value of dev is the string /dev/hidraw8.
Haha, actually it's much simpler...
First try
$ ls -al /sys/bus/hid/devices/*0922*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 25 22:47 /sys/bus/hid/devices/0003:0922:1002.001A -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-5/1-5.3/1-5.3:1.2/0003:0922:1002.001AThat's essentially what getDeviceFile does.
Hmm, no dice:
(.venv) scor@Hojo ~/Projects/dymoprint $ ls -al /sys/bus/hid/devices/*0922*
ls: cannot access '/sys/bus/hid/devices/*0092*': No such file or directory
Although there are some things in there, looks like printer is not HID-recognized :(
There's one last thing you could try. If you go back to the original dymoprint they use Python's USB library instead of the device file.
Hah! reading through https://sbronner.com/dymoprint.html I opted for installing it via CUPS. It freaking works, as in "it pushed out tape when i clicked 'print'"
Now the question is how to print proper labels and stuff out of it, preferably simply from commandline...
Wow, it's been a long time since I've read that text, but after our experience, I finally understand what he is saying! 😂
That's awesome that it responds to CUPS!!! 🎉 No idea about proper labels, i suppose we should learn some CUPS.
Also, based on our work above, i think we could put together a very useful document about probing DYMO printers so that others can work on supporting their own devices. What do you think?
Yup, sounds like a plan :) That means i'm gonna have to figure out how to pritn with LM280 quickly, as i was able to get Rhino 6000 cheaply (it seems it also works with D1 tapes) and it's gonna be the next project :)
I'll try to figure out how to print with CUPS, as for example for me it'd make sense to use commandline in a quick'n'dirty way to print a label, without playing extensively in some kind of label editing software.
Ping @varac, since they also were interested in the 280. (See #30 (comment))
Also, I don't know if it's relevant to CUPS, but this technical manual is a good guide to the commands:
https://download.dymo.com/dymo/technical-data-sheets/LW%20450%20Series%20Technical%20Reference.pdf
BTW, the modeswitch command is <esc> Z <soh>, which sort of fits in with the protocol.
Hi, trying to use LabelManager 280 via CUPS. I've managed to compile and install the CUPS drivers (Ubuntu detects the LM280 printer when it is connected and powered on)
Got the updated driver source from THIS REPO
I've tried installing dymoprint from YOUR REPO but
running dymoprint hello results in The device 'Dymo LabelManager 280' could not be found on this system.
Any suggestions I've might be doing wrong?
regarding print command oneliner
Also i've set it as default printer
lpstat -p -d
lpoptions -d LabelManager-280tryied to print text using command as shown HERE with no success. Ubuntu shows that printing in progress, the finished but LM280 did nothing.
@aleksasp, I think the problem is that the printer is not showing up as a HID device as the current repo expects. If you run
ls -al /sys/bus/hid/devices/*0922*then I think you will get "No such file or directory". Could you confirm this?
In this case, you may instead have success with the original dymoprint script by Sebastian Bronner. That uses USB directly, instead of the HID virtual file. So I think you just need to add 0x1005 to _USB_PRODUCT and make sure all the required packages are installed.
@maresb you were right, just had also to change the device class to 0x7 instead of 0x3 and change path to an existing ttf font.
Below is the output of
print(dev.get_active_configuration())that suggested changing device class to 0x7.

Added public GIST form my dymoprint version.
@aleksasp, that's excellent!!!
Do you need to run with sudo in order to print?
Also, do you know to what degree CUPS is necessary? My understanding is that dymoprint replaces CUPS in all cases.
I see what happened now with why this repo uses the HID virtual file while the original dymoprint uses PyUSB. The latest version of Sebastian Bronner's dymoprint was from 2016. However, the version on which this repo was based is from 2013. So unfortunately these improvements never got merged in our fork.
Printing without sudo. It is possibly likely due to appropriate rules file. Will asd that to the gist. Will try to remove CUPS or run the script on different host next week.
We should consider merging some of these changes, especially the use of PyUSB.
Changes added to the newer version of dymoprint

Excellent!!!
Any chance you could make a PR for this repo? Then we could officially support the 280. 🎉
I wonder if this would make it feasible to run this on other operating systems as well...
Just to let you know: Also haveing a LabelManager 280 and it works perfectly fine! Regarding the privileges: The device was detected as /dev/usb/lp1 with owner root and group lp. Since I'm member of that lp group on my PC it directly worked out of the box.

"it" means this dymoprint repo as is? or one of the patches mentioned above? thanks!
@srl295, there have been some substantial changes to the code since that post. The version at that time was 1.3.0. If you're having trouble you can add more details and/or try downgrading with
pipx install --force dymoprint==1.3.0My expectation would be that it runs for the first time with a permissions error, but the error message should suggest the command to run to fix the permissions error, and then it should work the second time.
It'd be helpful to know the output you're seeing.
@maresb worked perfectly
You do not have sufficient access to the device. You probably want to add the a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d with the following command:
echo 'ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0922", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1005", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/91-dymo-1005.rules
Next refresh udev with:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger --attr-match=idVendor="0922"
Finally, turn your device off and back on again to activate the new permissions.
If this still does not resolve the problem, you might need to reboot. In case rebooting is necessary, please report this at <https://github.com/computerlyrik/dymoprint/pull/56>. We are still trying to figure out a simple procedure which works for everyone. In case you still cannot connect, or if you have any information or ideas, please post them at that link.i'd recommend closing this as fixed.
