Multi-label print not sending page-break to 4XL printer #6

Open JangoBritt opened 4 years ago

When I print multiple labels the second page continues on immediately after the first, rather than feeding to the next label.

If I print one label at a time, it feeds correctly to the end of the label after printing.

Do you think this could be a problem with the SDK, or with CUPS? Is there any way to fix this?

I had a similar problem when printing from the iphone. It feeds into the next label a bit instead of stopping at the break and it messes up subsequent labels. If I print from the computer its fine. I havent printed multiple labels at once from the computer because I dont really know how haha.

Hey @JangoBritt, to help narrow this down further and to see if this has any similarities to issue #5, can you help me with specifics on your setup? From which computer are you trying to print from/to? What page sizes are seeing the issue with?

Also a bit of a disclaimer: I'm not the original author of the code, so I'm not super familiar with how exactly this all works but I'm definitely interested in trying to keep on top of improving the driver support, so I'll do what I can.

No worries, I appreciate you trying to support the code, and help me out.

Raspberry pi zero w, Dymo 4XL, with 4x6 labels. Fresh install with Raspbian Buster, CUPS, and your patched sdk.

So, I’m printing from iPhone or iPad, as I know there are issues with Mac too, so I’m not even trying that yet. Using the stock AirPrint method in the Share Sheet, to connect to the printer on the CUPS server

The labels download as a PDF, with A6 pages, properly paginated, from Etsy.

I can print them one page at a time, but if I do, it just follows on without adding a page break.

Okay, great. Thanks. It appears that both of you are printing from iOS onto 4x6 labels, so that's good to know. I'll have to dig into the CUPS documentation and see if the page size definitions are correct.

Hey @Kyle-Falconer, did you manage to spot anything? I'm keen to get this figured out so I can start using the printer properly. lol
