Version: -feature CUPS.org User: mwilner

Request to add support for the following Zebra Technology Kiosk Printers: TTP20x0 TTP2130 TTP7030 TTP8200 KR403

The latest version to be included is attached to this request. Enclosed is a summary of the changes.

A quick search in the internet revealed that these printers understand a control language named "KPL", based on ESC sequences. Among a lot of things, this PL supports rendering b/w bitmaps in Windows BMP format. As this format is supported by Ghostscript out of the box, it should be no problem to write a supporting filter as a, say, Perl or Python script.

The KPL language is documented.

I don't understand your post since I am asking to include the attached driver (filters and ppd's) for the Zebra printers in the next build.

CUPS.org User: mwilner

This is a bugfix to a prior submission STR #3317.

Assigning to CUPS 1.5.

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: llowy

Is this feature going to be included in the 1.5 release?

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Leo,

No, and I had actually sent out an email in March requesting that Zebra sign our new contributor agreement before we could include it:

http://www.cups.org/AppleContributorAgreement.pdf

Can you take care of that?

Thanks!

CUPS.org User: llowy

Mike -

Can you email me the document? The link in your note above does not seem to work.

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Now have the signed agreement, moving to the 1.6 milestone...

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Sorry, this is getting pushed out again as we are running out of time for 1.6.

I really want to merge the kiosk driver into rastertolabel, and all of the Kiosk stuff (like zePresenterLoopLength/Tens) needs to be migrated to use custom options - picking 1100 possible values from two different controls is not a good user experience.

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Here is what I've merged so far to rastertolabel.c.

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mwilner

Mike, What I can see in the merge file this is all ZPL based stuff and there are two types of Kioks printer, one that is ZPL based (KR403) and all the others in rastertozebrakiosk for KPL based Kiosk printers. Are you planning to merge those together? \Manfred

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Manfred,

Correct, I want to merge the KPL stuff into rastertolabel. This is partly because we wish to minimize the number of filters bundled with CUPS, and partly because the current KPL driver doesn't follow our coding guidelines and needs to be updated for localization, etc.

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mwilner

Mike, Thank you, are those coding guidelines documented on the CUPS side so that I can take a look at it? I have taken over the project and am not too familiar with CUPS so I will have to look into it. \Manfred

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

You'll find the guidelines here:

michaelrsweet commented 12 years ago

CUPS.org User: mwilner

Mike, Can you leave the rastertozebrakiosk out of the distribution while we are working on the coding to conform to the guidelines and just include the rastertolabel in the 1.6 release? This would help us tremendously. Thank you, \Manfred

michaelrsweet commented 11 years ago

CUPS.org User: mwilner

Mike, When are you planning to release CUPS 1.6 so that we can determine how much time we have to get our driver into this build? Thank you, \Manfred

michaelrsweet commented 11 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Manfred,

CUPS 1.6.0 is coming very soon. We can always add updates to rastertolabel in 1.6.x if we need to...

michaelrsweet commented 11 years ago

CUPS.org User: mwilner

Mike, Finally making progress with my CUPS development on the Ubuntu 12.04. I have a question regarding the implementation of the Kiosk printers, we have to kind of Kiosk printers, one is ZPL which is now integrated into the rastertolabel filter but the other is KPL which is ESC based like the Epson but not quite the same. I know you wanted to limit the filter files so I am asking where would you like me to integrate the KPL based Kiosk printers? Thank you, \Manfred

michaelrsweet commented 11 years ago

CUPS.org User: mike

Manfred,

If it is a label/receipt printer, then I'd like the code in the rastertolabel filter.

Thanks!

I cannot log into Cups area...I enter username and password but it will not let me log in. I need to add a printer and this is just not working as instructed. Please advise. Thank you.

CUPS.org User: agiovacchini

Hello, I'd like to be able to use Zebra KR203 KPL under Linux and found this page, but I can't understand how to use the source files from zebraCupsDrivers_v2.zip, can someone help me please?

In a document from Zebra I red that KPL was planned for inclusion in CUPS 1.6 but also in 1.7 I can't find it.

Best regards

This STR has not been updated by the submitter for two or more weeks and has been closed as required by the CUPS Configuration Management Plan. If the issue still requires resolution, please re-submit a new STR.
