2 years ago I've never directly sent data to the P-touch driver using lp, but you'll need to get the printing options (notably the page width and label type (continuous or cut-feed) correct, otherwise the printer will reject the image data. I don't know how to pass these into lp -- you'll have to consult the manpages and possibly the CUPS documentation.
Sending a PNG file directly to the printer is not likely to work -- though if you can convert it into a PDF, it should.
Bear in mind that the page on the P-touch printers is rotated 90 degrees. That means the width of your page should be 62mm, and the height is the length of the label you wish to print.
Hello,
I successfully installed this printer driver on my Raspberry Pi Noobs OS.
Now I'd like to print an image on my QL-550 on a 62mm endless roll with following command:
The green light of my printer starts to blink, but furthermore nothing happens. I guess, my cmd is wrong. Maybe I need to specify the size or take another image than PNG. I don't know.
There is no error feedback in my terminal thrown.
Could somebody please give me an example of how this cmd could look like?
