QL-1110NWB seems not supported at the moment Are you able to look at the code and fix this?

i have tried to fix this issue, but no idea, do you have any solusion?

what if i use the other model like epson ? can i use this plugin ?

Support for QL-1110NWB was added to the SDK in v3.1.5, per the SDK release notes here: https://support.brother.com/g/s/es/htmldoc/mobilesdk/about/release-notes-ios.html

The SDK framework currently included with this plugin is v3.1.1, per the info.plist file inside the framework:

CFBundleShortVersionString 3.1.1

So, you need to update the SDK if you require support for the QL-1110NWB printer.

You may download the latest SDK here: https://www.brother.co.jp/eng/dev/mobilesdk/download/index.aspx

NOTE: Beginning with SDK 3.1.10 and later, the framework is now a Dynamic library, which requires it to be "embedded" in the application.

And, no, you will not be able to use this plugin with any non-Brother printer model, at least when using the image printing method.

hi @robr2112 thank u for your response,

how to update the new SDK to this plugin ?

[robr2112]

Replace the BRPtouchPrinterKit.framework in src/ios/lib folder with the latest download version.

The SDK APIs are mostly the same so it shouldn’t require much (if any) modification to the rest of the plugin, though I’m not certain of that(as I’m not expert with this plugin). The new SDK should recognize the QL-1110NWB printer model name.

The biggest challenge may be to change the plugin project settings to “embed” the framework (as I mentioned last time). I’m not sure how to do that in Cordova, ie outside of Xcode. But this should be a simple change.

Hopefully this gets you moving forward. I support the SDK but I’m not expert with this plugin.

@robr2112 , would it be possible you submit a pull request for the framework upgrade? Thanks

[robr2112]

@arcadius , I'm not sure why you would need me to do a pull request? Can't you just download the latest SDK and integrate it? (of course, beware the new dynamic framework requires embedding, as mentioned already in this thread).

The SDKs (both iOS and Android) update somewhat regularly, so IMO it's a good idea to check these updates once in a while.
