QL700 not present in repo

[MacBadger]

The most recent version include QL700 driver (v1.6) installing via dnf and apt gives v1.5 (.1 i think)

This only gives footmatic options for the qL800 (which leads to filter issues if used with QL700) and QL510 (which doesn't have continuous paper length for the 700

Tried to build the 1.6 local on rPi, but also couldn't get this to work correctly.

Hi, can you please answer the following?

Operating system and platform (please complete the following information):

• Operating system and distribution: [e.g. iOS, Debian, Ubuntu]
• OS version [e.g. 22]
• printer-driver-ptouch version (if you installed from a package e.g. RPM or Apt, this is the package version)
• What software are you using to create and send the print job?

It seems like your operating system is using an outdated version of the driver -- if that's the case, then you need to uninstall your OS's version (for Raspberry Pi / Raspbian that would usually be sudo apt remove printer-driver-ptouch) then clone this repository and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

Generally speaking, that means running these commands in sequence: ./configure, make, sudo make install.

Raspbian 11 APT version (via apt install) 1.5.1 Also downloaded 1.6-2_armhf.deb directly from debian FTP server

At this stage this is using the print test page in cups :631 management, and via glabels on a remotely connected computer

already tried downloading git files and ./configure; make; make install, again, ql700 never actually appears in cups administration- all the other foomatic ones do!

Each of these done in succession and each time via fresh install of os first.

Ahh - the problem is that the QL-700 driver is on the master branch, but isn't in a release yet.

I've just done a release of version 1.7, which should work for you.
