OK, I’m going to try this one - derived from the above archive, but modified, and best of all it says something about fixing a problem with Debian: sudo make build (Notes: libcupsys2-dev is not part of Debian as far as I can tell, but libcups2-dev is, and that has the same files. But there is a makefile … but it does not work (on my Debian 9.X box - probably works elsewhere, based on the documentation). Now, there is no configure script in the archive. This will not remove printer instances recognized by the system. a suffix) to a directory accessible to your linker, usually /usr/lib.įrom the command-line, utter the following:Īfter a successful build, the driver may be installed with: tar files can be unpacked with tar -vxf. tar.gz files can be unpacked with tar -vxfz. (-lz) libz can be downloaded and built from. (-ljpeg) libjpeg can be downloaded and built from. Ubuntu: libcupsys2-dev and libcupsimage2-dev These libraries can be found within your Linux implementation’s software installer. Had another look at the archive … here is an extract from the README.txt:īuilding this driver requires that CUPS development libraries are installed. A ppd file calls on tools to interpret the thing you want to print, and they are not already on the computer for this printer, so just a ppd is not enough. The zip file noted above has some instructions in it for compiling some stuff. Sounds good.īut the printer does not work. There is a file in that archive called siislp200.ppd. No drivers are available, says computer! No drivers warningsĬlicking on the dialogue boxes that come up, I get a window that asks me for a ppd file. It does not have the black marks on the back that the machine uses to position the labels, but it might be OK for testing the installation (it is). Till then, I cut a strip of fax roll to the right width and put it in. Next steps are to get some ammunition (only had a couple of labels) and install it properly. Held down the paper feed button, pressed and released the power button (still holding other one down) and a label came out (then I let go of all buttons): Test label from Seiko SLP 200 thermal label printer Anyway, I had a 7V one in the shed and kludged together a plug that fit. I note this because if you look for an AC supply anywhere on the web, they grey out the details, I guess to try to force you to buy a new one from them. This one had no power supply, but the back plate said 6V 9W, with the centre pin negative. The unit, with a bit of fax paper in it (hence the curl) Thermal label printer with serial and USB ports.
