If we now insert the card into our Raspberry Pi and apply power, after a short while we should be able to log in via SSH using mDNS. Of course, feel free to replace vi with your text editor of choice. $ sudo touch /media//boot/sshĪnd create the file that tells Raspbian to enable the SSH server.
#Raspberry pi printer rip or software or driver update#
Then update the hosts file with the same name. $ sudo vi /media//rootfs/etc/hostnameĬhange the hostname to something easily remembered, like “labels”. Assuming you used a Linux machine to write out the SD card, once this has completed if you remove and reinsert the card so that its partitions get mounted, we can edit a few files. The Lite variant is perfectly sufficient and highly advisable (no need for desktop software etc). So first we need to write out Raspbian to a Micro SD card. Let’s take a look at how we’d configure a Pi to drive the QL-700 via a simple web interface. Which of course is perfect for a bolt-on wireless print server - and more!
Thanks to some neat software from Philipp Klaus, it’s now possible to drive them without needing to have official driver support from Brother - meaning that non-x86 platforms can also be used, such as the ARM-based Raspberry Pi.
The QL700 model is reasonably compact and can take various different sizes and types of label stock. The Brother QL label printers come in various configurations. Combining a Raspberry Pi and a Brother QL-700 to create a self-contained wireless label printer complete with an integrated web based label designer.Įvery organised workshop needs labels and with the addition of a Raspberry Pi the low cost Brother QL-700 (840-6302)Ĭan be turned into a handy wireless label printer with an integrated designer.
