What label printer do people use?

[afsabresfan]

I'm just getting started with Spoolman but I've already got some partial rolls of filament I want to sort through and label. I'm just curious what kind of label printer people are using. I've seen some generally referenced like "thermal printer", but I was curious if anyone is running a printer connected to a Windows machine that prints right from the Spoolman printer interface. Thanks!

Personally I just use some A4 label paper on a regular laser printer. Works well enough for me

I bought a Nelko PM220 on sale on Amazon. Took a little bit of work to get it set up correctly, but I got it to print really nice size labels! The only thing I can’t tell yet is whether or not the QR code is big enough, as I haven’t set up my reverse proxy yet. I’ll report back when that’s done.

The key to the PM220 is to force the computer to print directly to the printer, not using the spooler. It’s in the printer settings. Once you do that, it prints great!

@afsabresfan, could you share more details about your setup for this?

I have a Dymo Labelwriter 450 and am hoping to use that to print the labels now that I have set up OctoEverywhere.
