model unknown QL-810W

[webeasyplay]

I installed libusb-win32 and key "brother_ql -b pyusb discover" It's display Found a label printer: usb//0x04f9:0x209c

My device model name is QL-810W

I have the same issue with QL-700. I've connected two printers, and without device serial number I can't address the printer correctly. Here my output on RapsberryPI 3:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ brother_ql -b pyusb discover INFO:brother_ql.output_helpers: Found a label printer: usb://0x04f9:0x2042 (model: unknown) INFO:brother_ql.output_helpers: Found a label printer: usb://0x04f9:0x2042 (model: unknown) usb://0x04f9:0x2042usb://0x04f9:0x2042

Any advice please?

Also, I get this output (the printer prints image succesfully):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ brother_ql -b pyusb -m QL-700 -p usb://04f9:2042/000A7Z479144 print -l 62 ./eventsme-ticket-2785346151.png

Hi there, not sure if it is related, but I have a similar experience with brother_ql from master and a QL-810W nordic printer on raspberry. Python 3. Connection USB. (Exact serial / type number E77136E0Z365358 = QL810W Fabrication date 2020 I think)

Printing is perfect including the cut/no cut option, seems only the "finished/OK" response from the printer is bad. Printer also does not hang or anything; I can print 50 stickers perfectly. Is a bit slow though because it seems to timeout after print. 10 secs maybe?

The printui fork printing whatever also says "Could not connect to printer" (but does print just fine)

Is there something I can contribute to fix? debug mode to see what the printer actually responds, or something? Probably a newer printer/firmware responding something else than what is expected I guess…
