Support 2"x7" Dymo labels (11019) for Zebra printers #6026

Open megatog615 opened 2 years ago

megatog615 commented 2 years ago

I have produced a custom PPD for my Zebra LP 2824 to support Dymo's 2x7(2 5/16"x7 1/2") labels (model 11019). I think this label type is used enough to warrant support for it without having to add a custom size(which is not always easily possible for my work environment).

I'm not sure if my PPD is perfect. The measurements for the labels in the PPD do not exactly match the size of the printing area as the label printer seems to have margins that cannot be overcome(the print head is physically less wide than the page). My PPD was made purely out of a time of frustration and trying to figure out how things work in a limited amount of time(I've never customized a PPD before). It also removes all other page sizes because I needed it to support 2x7 and nothing else.

Let this issue serve as a request to officially support this label/page size. If I've posted this in the wrong place, please let me know.

I suppose this label size could also be added to other printers; I only have a Zebra so the PPD is made for that.
