Print on SMB shared printer #41

I am very keen on this project and I managed to get it work on an raspberry pi. But now I have the need to move to an other machine. From there my Labelprinter is available via smb share. I know I can use file:///dev/usb/lp0 or tcp://192.168.0.23:9100 to tell this interface which printer to use, but the smb://.... is not working. There is a message saying backend not available.

Is there a way to use this with an smb shared printer ?

Thanks for your help.

This should probably reported to the underlying communication library: https://github.com/pklaus/brother_ql brother_ql_web is just the corresponding web interface, which does not actually implement the printing.
