Had another look at the archive … here is an extract from the README.txt:īuilding this driver requires that CUPS development libraries are installed. A ppd file calls on tools to interpret the thing you want to print, and they are not already on the computer for this printer, so just a ppd is not enough.
#Smart label printer 620 install zip file#
The zip file noted above has some instructions in it for compiling some stuff. Sounds good.īut the printer does not work. There is a file in that archive called siislp200.ppd.
#Smart label printer 620 install drivers#
No drivers are available, says computer! No drivers warningsĬlicking on the dialogue boxes that come up, I get a window that asks me for a ppd file. It does not have the black marks on the back that the machine uses to position the labels, but it might be OK for testing the installation (it is). Till then, I cut a strip of fax roll to the right width and put it in.
#Smart label printer 620 install install#
Next steps are to get some ammunition (only had a couple of labels) and install it properly. Held down the paper feed button, pressed and released the power button (still holding other one down) and a label came out (then I let go of all buttons): Test label from Seiko SLP 200 thermal label printer Anyway, I had a 7V one in the shed and kludged together a plug that fit. I note this because if you look for an AC supply anywhere on the web, they grey out the details, I guess to try to force you to buy a new one from them.

This one had no power supply, but the back plate said 6V 9W, with the centre pin negative. The unit, with a bit of fax paper in it (hence the curl)
#Smart label printer 620 install serial#
Thermal label printer with serial and USB ports. TopCoatedPaper/Topcoated Paper is 150 mm length Note: x = length along label roll, y = width of roll. Pasted into Writer, formatted the table and exported as HTML, and pasted here. (Also decided to separate the label code from the description). Then opened that list in Libreoffice Calc and calculated the sizes in mm and inches as well as points. Then (I have to do things one step at a time, sorry) $ paste list-of-labels.txt size-in-pointsx.txt size-in-pointsy.txt > labels-and-sizes.txt I separate x and y dimensions so that paste below will put a tab in between instead the the space that is already there, so when I import into LibreOffice Calc I can set tab as the delimiter.) ( -d'x' sets x as the delimiter, and -fn takes the nth field defined by these delimiters. $ cut -d'' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f2 > size-in-pointsy.txt This pulls out the sizes (in points) $ cut -d'' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f1 > size-in-pointsx.txt Neaten up the output using cut this pulls out the label size names: $ cut -d'*' -f2 sizes.txt | cut -d' ' -f2- | cut -d':' -f1 > list-of-labels.txt This gives all the lines that set page sizes. grep PageSize siislp200.ppd | grep SLP > sizes.txt It’s really for my own reference.įirst, find siislp200.ppd and look through it for the relevant text. The CUPS driver is very useful, but the media selection menu in CUPS does not give the paper size, just the label code, so I thought a table giving the description, the label code and the dimensions in a couple of units might be handy. Anyway, that’s to do with the driver, not the installation process. Scanned printouts - note that the SLP is a thermal label printer and the paper is only 2 inches wide and in black and white!ĭoes seem to clip the bottom of the image… maybe I’ll try to figure that out, but not right now. Works! Here are a couple of images to prove it. p gives the name you’ll use to address it, -m the model relative to /usr/share/cups/model, -D the description, -E says ‘enable it’ and -v is followed by the address for it.ĭo a test - does not work because I have used a different printer name, but I can revise the command to do my own test $ make test203 $ lpinfo -v | grep -i slpĬombine this information to create the printer $ lpadmin -p SLP200 -m seiko/ -D "Seiko SLP 200" -E -v usb://SII/SLP200?serial=SLP200J

Then plug in and switch on the device and find out what USB address it’s been given - it will be a ‘direct’ printer and have a USB address - that is, plugged directly into the computer via a USB cable.
