Dymo label printer driver plugin for InvenTree

inventree-dymo-plugin

A label printer driver plugin for InvenTree, which provides support for Dymo Label Writer® printers.

Compatibility

The following printers are already supported by the driver:

DYMO Label Writer 450
DYMO Label Writer 450 Duo (Tape is not supported currently)
DYMO Label Writer 450 Turbo
DYMO Label Writer 450 Twin Turbo

Requirements

Currently only printing over network is supported, so an RAW network socket server needs to be connected to the printer. A raspberry pi zero w is just enough for that job.

The easiest way to set this up, is using cups and configure a RAW printer device in combination with xinetd like described in this blog post.

Installation

:warning: This plugin is only compatible with InvenTree>=0.16 because this uses the new label printer driver interface introduced with inventree/InvenTree#4824 and was fixed with 0.16 to work inside of workers.

Goto “Admin Center > Plugins > Install Plugin” and enter inventree-dymo-plugin as package name.

Then goto “Admin Center > Machines” and create a new machine using this driver.

Technical working

This driver implements the RAW Dymo LabelWriter® 450 Series commands like described in the technical reference manual to send the label data to the printer.
