[FR] Enable to Print labels directly to a network-attached label printer for faster inventory management. #2255

Closed Oakman-Dev closed 2 years ago

Oakman-Dev commented 2 years ago

Enable to Print labels directly to a network-attached label printer for faster inventory management. (Maybe with something like https://github.com/mbello/ezprinting)

Example use case, Dymo LabelWriter 450 with a small Pi Zero W as a CUPS server. The reason for wanting it on the interface would be that I could trigger a print from my phone or tablet browser and maybe in the future as part of the mobile app without having to deal with system dialogs and drivers etc.

This could also be further extended to trigger automatic label printing based on barcode scanner.

@Oakman-Dev I would like to put this onto my personal dev roadmap but I need more info to do this.

@Oakman-Dev this is now ready to go!

Label printing plugins are now directly supported.
