Does anyone have 4x6 thermal label printers working on Linux?
I have tried several thermal printers, zebra and off brands, none of them work on Linux, also tried arch, mint, manjaro, Ubuntu, and a few others.
Printers all detect and install, but never prints. I messed with CUPS settings, didnt help. I also tried LPrint. Didnt work. Nothing comes out any of the label printers. Not even the sample test labels.
Been using Linux for about 2 years full time. I only have windows to print shipping labels. I HATE using windows 10 and refuse to use 11. Now with no updates it’s the last thing I need to replace.


Brother QL-1110NWB
Works flawlessly on Ubuntu. Even the cut feature. I recall looking at their Linux driver page, but can’t recall if it was even necessary to install it.
Because this is a network-enabled model, it was auto-detected on the network. That makes printing from Android a breeze as well.
I imagine the other Brother models work just as well like the QL-1100.
Yeah, I have a QL-570 and it works fine.
