# dymoprint
[](https://github.com/computerlyrik/dymoprint)
[](https://pypi.org/project/dymoprint/)
Linux Software to print with LabelManager PnP from Dymo
* First version from Sebastian Bronner: <https://sbronner.com/dymoprint.html>
* Cloned to Github and formerly maintained by @computerlyrik: <https://github.com/computerlyrik/dymoprint>
* Currently maintained by @maresb
## Features
* Text printing
* QR code printing
* Barcode printing
* Image printing
* Combinations of the above
* GUI Application based on PyQt6
### Experimental
* LabelManager PC
* LabelPoint 350
* LabelManager 280
* LabelManager 420P
* LabelManager Wireless PnP
* Windows support by setting the driver to WinUSB using [Zadig](https://zadig.akeo.ie/)
For more information about experimental device support, see [#44](https://github.com/computerlyrik/dymoprint/issues/44).
## Installation
It is recommended to install dymoprint with [pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) so that it runs in an isolated virtual environment:
```bash
pipx install dymoprint
```
In case pipx is not already installed, it can be installed on Ubuntu/Debian with
```bash
sudo apt-get install pipx
```
or on Arch with
```bash
sudo pacman -S python-pipx
```
By default, users don't have permission to access generic USB devices, so you will
need to add a rule. The first time you run `dymoprint`, it will give instructions
about how to do this:
```bash
$ dymoprint "Hello world"
...
You do not have sufficient access to the device. You probably want to add the a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d with the following command:
echo 'ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0922", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/91-dymo-1001.rules
...
```
## Testing experimental features
To install a test branch, by user `ghuser` for the branch `branchname`, run
```bash
pipx install --force git+https://github.com/ghuser/dymoprint@branchname
```
To revert back to the release version, run
```bash
pipx install --force dymoprint
```
To install a particular release version, specify `dymoprint==x.y.z` instead of `dymoprint` in the above command.
## Development
To install for development, fork and clone this repository, and run (ideally within a venv):
```bash
pip install --editable .
```
This project uses [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) to run some checks before committing.
After installing the `pre-commit` executable, please run
```bash
pre-commit install
```
## Font management
Fonts are managed via [dymoprint.ini](dymoprint.ini). This should be placed in your
config folder (normally `~/.config`). An example file is provided here.
You may choose any TTF Font you like
You may edit the file to point to your favorite font.
For my Arch-Linux System, fonts are located at e.g.
```bash
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf
```
It is also possible to Download a font from
<http://font.ubuntu.com/> and use it.
## Modes
### Print text
```dymoprint MyText```
Multilines will be generated on whitespace
```dymoprint MyLine MySecondLine # Will print two Lines```
If you want whitespaces just enclose in " "
```dymoprint "prints a single line"```
### Print QRCodes and Barcodes
```dymoprint --help```
### Print Codes and Text
Just add a text after your qr or barcode text
```dymoprint -qr "QR Content" "Cleartext printed"```
### Picture printing
Any picture with JPEG standard may be printed. Beware it will be downsized to tape.
```dymoprint -p mypic.jpg ""```
Take care of the trailing "" - you may enter text here which gets printed in front of the image
## GUI
### Run DymoPrint GUI
```dymoprint_gui```
### Features
* Live preview
* margin settings
* type size selector
* visualization of tape color schema
* the ability to freely arrange the content using the "Node" list
* Text Node:
* payload text - can be multi-line
* font selector
* font scaling - the percentage of line-height
* frame border width steering
* Qr Node:
* payload text
* BarCode Node:
* payload text
* codding selector
* Image Node:
* path to file
Nodes can be freely arranged, simply drag&drop rows on the list.
To add or delete the node from the label - right-click on the list and select the action from the context menu.
To print - click the print button.
### Example
Example 1: multiple text + QR code
Example 2: two images + text with frame, white on red
Example 3: barcode, text, image
## Development
Besides the travis-ci one should run the following command on a feature implemention or change to ensure the same outcome on a real device:
```bash
dymoprint Tst && \
dymoprint -qr Tst && \
dymoprint -c code128 Tst && \
dymoprint -qr qrencoded "qr_txt" && \
dymoprint -c code128 Test "bc_txt"
```
### ToDo
* ~~(?)support multiple ProductIDs (1001, 1002) -> use usb-modeswitch?~~
* ~~put everything in classes that would need to be used by a GUI~~
* ~~for more options use command line parser framework~~
* ~~allow selection of font with command line options~~
* ~~allow font size specification with command line option (points, pixels?)~~
* ~~provide an option to show a preview of what the label will look like~~
* ~~read and write a .dymoprint file containing user preferences~~
* ~~print barcodes~~
* ~~print graphics~~
* ~~plot frame around label~~
* vertical print
* refactor code with better abstractions
* pixel fonts
* web interface
