I am after any recommendations or experiences using Label printers to print barcodes with CentOS, we currently using Star TSP700's but they're not clear enough for the scanners we have. There seems to be plenty of choice but not much Linux support going on, 'Never had anyone ask for Linux drivers before..' seems to be the most common answer when trying to buy. I have also tried a Brother P-Touch QL-550 but can't seem to get that to print at all using the Foomatic drivers available online.
Zebra printers work for us but we generate ZPL output ourselves and a raw queue is good enough for our purposes. I have to say the CUPS in CentOS5/Upstream is not very good at printing to Zebra printers using ZPL. More upto date CUPS does a better job, I had more success with latest SLES and Ubuntu compared to CentOS/upstream.
We also use Zebra printers, they produce a high quality bar code. We also generate the ZPL output and print using a raw print queue.
