rpi3 pdf printing issue

[hotnot]

Hi there, I am using your driver to print pdf files on the EPSON_TM-T88V printer from the rpi3 but the margins and the fonts are somehow different when printing from Windows 7 and the cutting is not right. I am not sure if this is so because this driver is not fully compatible with the t88v printer or if I am missing something.

The printing is working fine when using esc/pos commands and raw javax.print methods but when it comes to pdf printing, something is not right (this is maybe also an issue how the raspberry is creating pdf files). PPDs are also not helping when modifying the printer driver.

If there is a way to create a full cups driver for tm-t88v like you did for the tm-t20, or if you have some advice how to do this, I would appreciate if you or somebody else could help me with this matter. Thanks! Deki

Hi, have you found a solution? I have the same problems

I do not.Just for your information, I wrote this in order to have a tool so that my daughter, who has cognitive and physical disabilities, could print out a shopping list from her iPad. I bought the printer because it was advertised as having Linux drivers, but since they didn't have a raspberry pi build and didn't open source it, I took it upon myself to write what you see here in a rare weekend when I had time.If you can find it useful either as a driver or as a model, that's terrific. In any event, I wish you the best.On Jun 22, 2018 3:56 PM, doryza <notifications@github.com> wrote:Hi, have you found a solution?

I have a similar issue using this Driver with TM-82ii.
It works very well overall(thank you for your work on this:-). I am using it to print food orders sent from online system via Google Cloud print.
The default margin seems to be set at 0.4'' all around, in a browser I can manually override this to None.
Would you know where in the PPD I could set the default to be None?

I tried the package from @plinth666 but the raster wasn't quite proper and the print timing was quiet long.

I used then a bunch of free code from Epson, a PPD file from another printer and modify them to produce this new package: https://github.com/groolot/epson-tm-t88v-driver

Better rasterization, cash drawer and buzzer, all is operational.

Hope that could help someone like I was: in pain.

Ich habe das Paket von ausprobiert@plinth666aber das Raster stimmte nicht ganz und die Druckzeit war recht lang.

Ich habe dann eine Menge kostenlosen Code von Epson und eine PPD-Datei von einem anderen Drucker verwendet und diese geändert, um dieses neue Paket zu erstellen: https://github.com/groolot/epson-tm-t88v-driver

Bessere Rasterung, Kassenschublade und Summer, alles ist betriebsbereit.

Ich hoffe, das könnte jemandem wie mir helfen: Ich hatte Schmerzen.

Hallo,
ich bekomme beim druck mit Ihrem Treiber in Cups folgenden Fehler:
"Unable to open raster stream - : Broken pipe"
was kann ich tun?
