I am doing inventory and want to print labels. I found this thermoprinter in a pile of cables that I want to use for printing inventory labels.
Hardware
My printer talks TTL that you can plug into the UART of a Raspberry Pi.
I connected my printer's RX to a Raspberry Pi's TX and both printer and Pi to some power.
There is a large amount of 57mm thermopaper available. You can even buy adhesive thermopaper which is ideal for this project.
