Label Printers Question

General
1

Ive looked on ebay for a label printer, and the feeler is on them, that they need their own software to run?

Ideally, id like it to print off a label so that it can be stuck to a clear plastic cup… via samba?

Has anyone had any experience of this? Any recommendations?

I’m looking for cheap and cheerful

Thanks

Matt

What do you mean the feeler? Is it the automatic peeler? Label printer does not need their own software to run, but they do need driver. In my case, I will need to select the label printer on SambaPOS, then printer template will be set up as RAW printer (this setup isn’t easy as ticket printer).

I’m using Xprinter XP-350B, it’s the cheapest label printer (about US$70) among others (new from US$200+). But this printer is using modified TSPL language, not all feature able to be used. Here is my label looks like:

Mark has made a tutorial for setting up a label printer,

EDIT:

This is how my printer template (using TSPL language):

SIZE 40 mm,30 mm
GAP 3 mm, 0 mm
DIRECTION 1
BEEP
CLS
[LAYOUT]
TEXT 15,10,"3",0,1,1,"ALOHA!"

[ORDERS]
TEXT 15,45,"3",0,1,1,"{NAME}"

Awesome thanks buddy.

Id need that sort of thing I think, Its for a milkshake bar… so added toppings and flavours etc.

Want to include customer name too… so your example is a good one.

Thanks
