Hi, I've been working on a number of fixes to ptouch-driver, which are currently hosted in a Mercurial repository on Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/philpem/printer-driver-ptouch/commits These commits (everything past "update tags") are enough to get the driver to work with my system (admittedly this is Ubuntu 14.10, though I can set up a Debian VM fairly quickly). I've tested with two printers: a QL-500 and a PT-2450DX. At this point the only thing I can't test is a QL-series printer with an auto cutter, as I don't have one available. Ideally, the driver needs two more tweaks to make it "perfect", but in its current state it's usable: * Remove the "determined by page size" option from "roll-fed media" * Remove the "Advance Media" option; "Advance at the end of the job" is the only option which generates valid feed control codes. * Do a bit of work with Quilt so that a source package can be built too. I'd like to find someone with a QL-series printer with an auto-cutter to test that functionality (print a few labels to check that auto-cut works on QL series printers for single and multiple labels), and then I'd like to look at getting my changes reviewed and included in Debian. How do I go about doing that? I suspect I need to submit patches; is there a preferred format for these? I also noticed there was a Git repository on Alioth for this package; would some form of Git export be preferred to patches? Thanks, -- Phil.
