Allow larger tape sizes #117

Open Derkades opened 3 months ago

I tried this program with the LabelWriter 400 and it works well! Only one issue is that the text is too small when printing on address stickers, as they wider than the max of 19mm, Is it possible to allow custom tape sizes in dymoprint_gui?

Hey @Derkades, that's great! You're the first to report anything about the 400. Did you have to modify the supported products list here or did it show up? What's the device id reported by lsusb?

Regarding wider labels, you may be in luck since @tomers just got a 550 with a wider label, see here. Is this something you could help us develop and test?

To my surprise, it just shows up as a regular printer. I ended up printing a few labels from LibreOffice Writer by setting the page size just right. However, using this program seems more convenient when I start using it to print large amounts of labels :)

I did not modify the program, just installed it via pipx. The usb device info: 0922:0019 Dymo-CoStar Corp. LabelWriter 400

I have experience programming in Python. And of course I have the device, so please let me know if I can help with anything!
