[15:30:15] <Lcvette> i was trying to install my dymo label writer on the lihnux machine
[15:30:27] <Lcvette> was wondering if anyone knew how to do it?
[15:30:36] <Lcvette> i downloaded a file to do so but not sure how to install?
[15:30:47] <TurBoss> what extension has
[15:31:31] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (165KB) < https://matrix.org >
[15:31:45] <Lcvette> it was a tar file full of other files
[15:32:39] <TurBoss> hmmm
[15:32:56] <TurBoss> readme is usefull
[15:33:34] * Lcvette posted a file: README (0KB) < https://matrix.org >
[15:33:59] <Lcvette> http://www.dymo.com
[15:34:09] <Lcvette> this si the whole file i downloaded
[15:34:14] <TurBoss> thats for programers
[15:34:30] <TurBoss> its an sdk software development kit
[15:34:34] <Lcvette> oh
[15:34:53] <TurBoss> do you know the printer model?
[15:35:10] <Lcvette> dymo laBELWRITER 4XL
[15:35:27] <Lcvette> labelwriter 4xl
[15:36:16] <TurBoss> http://www.dymo.com
[15:36:24] <TurBoss> maybe is not needed
[15:36:35] <TurBoss> a driver I mean
[15:36:54] <TurBoss> oh but also says tha contains drivers!
[15:36:57] <Lcvette> i tried printing and it says its miossing something
[15:37:01] <TurBoss> the sdk contains the driver
[15:37:13] <TurBoss> I use Glabels from apt
[15:37:29] <TurBoss> did you manage to add the printer to the printer config?
[15:37:42] <TurBoss> glabels is a tool to make labels
[15:37:43] <TurBoss> :D
[15:38:34] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (31KB) < https://matrix.org >
[15:38:44] <TurBoss> wrong paper
[15:38:48] <TurBoss> size
[15:38:50] <TurBoss> I think
[15:39:12] <TurBoss> what you using to print?=
[15:39:18] <TurBoss> libreoffice?
[15:39:27] <Lcvette> printing from the web
[15:39:33] <Lcvette> shipping labels
[15:39:46] <TurBoss> from the web? :O
[15:39:51] <TurBoss> ok
[15:40:01] <Lcvette> well, it crerates a pdf
[15:40:10] <Lcvette> then print from the pdf
[15:40:20] <TurBoss> what is the size of the label?
[15:40:26] <Lcvette> 4x6
[15:40:34] <TurBoss> and the pdf?
[15:41:26] <Lcvette> i dunno
[15:41:40] <Lcvette> on the other machine it allowed me to select the paper size
[15:41:51] <Lcvette> think from the driver maybe
[15:41:58] <Lcvette> thats why i figured this was missing the driver
[15:42:13] <TurBoss> ok can you go to the printer settings?
[15:42:38] <TurBoss> there is a file ppd in the sdk folder
[15:42:47] <TurBoss> that can be added to the settings
[15:43:10] <TurBoss> maybe is that whats missing
