Printer Support PT-P950NW

[Rincewind34]

I'm having trouble getting a print on this printer to work (and since that is my only printer, I'm having trouble getting anything to work xD). I understand that support for this printer was patched by you?

The software is communicating with the printer, it is discovering it under the USB port, printing my png does make something come out of the printer, but its garbage.

I adjusted the png to the dimensions 283 × 110 as documented for a 12mm label. Here is what I'm trying to print:

And this is what comes out:

And this is what the CLI does:

~/D/K/i/s/brother_ql-inventree master 5.2s ❱ brother_ql -p 'usb://0x04f9:0x2086' -b pyusb --model PT-P950NW print --label 12 --rotate 90 --threshold 0.5 ../barcode.png
INFO:brother_ql.backends.helpers:Sending instructions to the printer. Total: 20173 bytes.
INFO:brother_ql.backends.helpers:Printing was successful. Waiting for the next job.

Im getting the same result using the P900W

Check out https://github.com/boxine/rasterprynt. I used this library for the same printer when I had one for work related stuff.

Hi there! I do not have access to a printer of the PT series so it is difficult for me to debug this. There is this issue upstream, which I have merged in here. Maybe adjusting the compression might help.
