inventree-dymo-550-plugin

A label printer driver plugin for InvenTree, which provides support for Dymo Label Writer® 550-series printers.

This driver is roughly based on wolflu05's Dymo 450 driver, but the interactive nature of the 550's network protocol requires a somewhat different code structure.

Compatibility

The following printers have been tested:

• DYMO Label Writer 550 (Turbo)
• DYMO Label Writer 5XL

Connectivity

This driver connects directly to the printers over a network connection.

It may be possible to expose a USB-connected printer as a network using using xinetd like as described in this blog post.

Installation

[!IMPORTANT] 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-550-plugin as the package name.

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

Technical Resources

Readers may wish to refer to the LabelWriter® 550 technical reference.

The dymosoftware GitHub repository also contains a CUPS driver which can provide additional technical resources.
