Thanks @Gaming4LifeDE !

Please can I request some elaboration? What issues are you currently facing with the scaling?

skutter-de commented 4 months ago

Currently, homeboy uses US Letter paper for panel printing, but most of the world uses A4. Being able to choose which paper size to use would be helpful I think and it would also make it easier to implement more formats for label printers (which use different sizes most of the time)

Ahh sorry! Somehow I totally misunderstood what you were asking, but that makes perfect sense - We'll add this to the roadmap!

I'm thinking the best move here might be to figure out if we can steal the system that Snipe-IT uses for label printing as it supports basically all paper sizes, and all label papers via adjustments.

Additionally, we may want to support a "template" type system as part of this fix in which multiple pre-defined paper layouts can be configured and chosen on the fly during printing.
