问题
I have a new label printer (Brother QL 570) wich supports endless paper. My thought was, that I will be able to save paper by printing just as much paper as I need - wrong! The printer comes with paper sizes of 63mm x 100mm and 63mm x 29mm (and some others) but I need 63mm x 'felxible lenght' or something like 63mm x 40mm.
How can I change that? I will print from OpenOffice.
Thanks!
(Driver is CUPS, using Mint 17.1)
回答1:
The CUPS drivers that come with the printer include a utility for adding custom paper sizes.
Open a terminal and type:
brpapertoollpr_ql570
And you will see the usage examples for adding and removing custom sizes:
===========================
LPRng Paper Size Tool (v 0.1) Copyright by 2005
Usage: brpapertoollpr_xxxx -P QL-xxxx Printer Name [-n add a Lable Format Name (<=32 bytes) -w Media Width(unit:mm) -h Media Height(unit:mm)]/[-d delete Lable Format Name]
For example:
1. Add a new Label Format with "New Label Format" name and 29mm width and 70mm length:
"brpapertoollpr_ql570 -P QL-570 -n New\ Label\ Format -w 29 -h 70" [enter]
2. Remove the Label Format with "New Label Format" name:
"brpapertoollpr_ql570 -P QL-570 -d New\ Label\ Format" [enter]
===========================
As an example, I did
brpapertoollpr_ql570 -P QL-570 -n long_label -w 62 -h 200
to set up a custom paper size called "long_label" which prints on 62mm continuous roll, a 200mm long label
