Hey everyone, apologies if this isn't how to do this (though it certainly seems like the place). I recently got spoolman up and running, and I'm extremely grateful for this project!
I bought a very inexpensive thermal label printer to label all my spools, and it's geared towards crappy mobile app usage, but it also has a USB interface that presents as a serial device. Zero docs that I can find, and they would likely be in chinese, but I stumbled upon a python project that allows usage of the device directly without BS apps. I am not a developer, but it occurred to me that this would be such a perfect inexpensive solution for many spoolman users to label their spools, and it would be very slick to be able to effectively churn out labels directly from the web interface.,
Here's the printer: https://www.niimbot.net/enweb/goods_detail.html?goods_id=68
Here's the python project: https://github.com/AndBondStyle/niimprint
Of course, I will likely try my hand at simply putting together something that renders labels from Spoolman CSV output and pushes it to the printer, but maybe I'll actually finish putting the skirts on my voron v2 before I pretend to be a developer.. 🥇
