Hi, I heard that these Niimbot printers were connected to a chineese server when printing from their app (to restrict access and all that sh*t). Is it still true when using this project or is it all local?

From what I saw from their original Windows application, there is indeed a URL for a couple of REST servers, and they might use it to print.

If you decide to use this python project (or one of its forks), everything is done local through RS232

Thanks for the info!
