Continuing on my #LinuxCurious journey... I have a label printer that I use pretty frequently and just discovered Brother has support for a few Linux distros. Deb (assuming Debian) Rpm (?!?) and Raspbian. Cool!

You smart Fedi folks overwhelmingly recommend Mint. Any strong feelings on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) vs the main version? Guessing LMDE might run more business/corp stuffs.

#Linux #Debian #LinuxMint #OpenSource!

@User47 I have 3 LinuxMint Cinnamon (Ubuntu based) PCs working in my office. A Brother MFC, a Documentscanner from Brother and a QL700 Labelprinter working fine together. It's a dream come true. You open your office, work all day and everything works smoothly. Just love it. Okay, tbh the Labelprinter was a bit magic. But if you need help, drop me a line. If you know how, it's easy as 1 2 3.

@nikomat niiiiice! I have QL-700 and love it. Glad to hear it doesn’t give you too much faf. Following now just in case I get stuck haha

@User47 I chose the deb files. 👍

@nikomat i just got up the nerve to perform the install. No p-touch editor! Just some templates that look pretty bad. So it seems I'm stuck. How did you get around this?

@User47
1. Did you install the driver?
2. Did you enterd the desired dimensions of Paperroll you put in?
sudo brpapertoollpr_ql700 -P <EXACT PRINTER NAME> -n <DESIRED LABELNAME> -w 29 -h 192

After finishing Step 2 you can just open up a LibreOffice Document. Modify the "Page Dimesons" like here 29mm x 192mm. And then go ahead and style your desired Sticker.
The above example is for small Folders. I am using this Dimensions with a 29mm - infinite Sticker-Roll.

@nikomat oh. Boy.

I’m glad you figured this all out.

Before I messaged you I’ve been messing with it and despite having a continuous roll I’m getting name tag sized labels. Doesn’t matter what I have for settings but I haven’t done what you outlined yet

@User47 Last thing: After you set the labels for your desired rolls and sizes, you go to LibreOffice and set your pagesize. When you go to print, make sure you use the correct label printer AND the correct label size. Make sure you save the file again afterwards. This should save all the printer settings (paperrollsize, printer) to the file.

@nikomat by chance did you try to do p-touch with wine?

@User47 Never even thought about it. LibreOffice was the tool of my choice. You could also youse LibreOffice Draw or even impress. 😉
