How to add new devices
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I own a PT-D800W which actually works using the PT-P900W driver.
Is there any documentation on adding new devices? Or any interest on working through the thing with me?
From the very limited amount of testing I have done, the printer seems to work fine using the PT-P900W driver. The only thing that seems weird is that there is some dotting(?) when printing anything other than the test page. Straight lines look a bit as if they were aliased, exept for the ones on the test page.
I am connected to it via wifi and haven't tested USB.
Same question here, I have the D460BT, is there any info about which "older" driver might work with this machine?
You could take a look at this commit, which added support for the PT-P710BT: c3724f8
For most PT and QL series printers, it's a case of figuring out the resolution and bytes-per-line, print features, and representing these in the XML file.
I'd see if any of the other PT series drivers in this driver (we don't support the D800W or P900W) work. If one does, you just need to copy the XML for that driver to get 90% of the way there.
@dynamodan, sadly you'll just have to try them. Look for printers which have similar specifications (print tape type, print width, auto cutter, etc) and try them.
