Xprinter XP-360B

Xubuntu 15.10

This is a label and receipt printer and is known for causing trouble under Linux. A good reason to dive in deeper, it is a pretty impressive printer, build to last with a proper construction. More details from manufacturere are here.

dmesg:

Settings > Printers "sees" XP-360B, Nice!

On with the driver part, the included CD offers no Linux stuff and the drivers from xprinter.net (Linux Driver from list) are to be tested and NOT LIKED by Firefox but we'll give it a try. It concerns the "80" model. All very nice but not the faintest clue is given how to install.

An internet citizen Gempur points to tscprinters.com for drivers, using the driver for TSC TDP-245 series. You can find them here. This package is cached here: Linux32_v0.2.06.zip (32-bits) and Linux64_v0.2.06.zip (64-bits). That is the way to go. After further setting up the printer with custom format in a standard way, you are more or less ready to go. But how do we print labels? A good start is gLabels. Make a template for your label size and go testing, it works well!
