P-Touch P700 Print Server
On Linux, the software support for P-Touch printers is quite limited. There is a quite useful command line tool called ptouch-print (https://dominic.familie-radermacher.ch/projekte/ptouch-print/). But, if you want to print multiple labels in one go (e.g. to save some tape) it gets confusing on the command line. So, the idea is to host a small web page where the texts to be printed can be entered on the UI. Hitting “print” will execute ptouch-print with the entered texts. It works with other P-Touch printers too but the models are specifically designed for the P700.
The source code and instructions to it can be found here: https://github.com/s4m3000/ptouch-print-web-ui
Note: I'm no web developer, so the code might be not state of the art …).
P700 and Raspi Stands
At the moment, there are two different models of the stand:
- Single Part: Only one part to print
- Two Part: Consisting of a bottom part (for the Raspi) and a top part (for the P700)
The Two Part version uses eight 2x6mm magnets to attach the top part to the bottom part.
Both versions can be equipped with round self-adhesive rubber feet.
