You need a C++17 compiler and I've only tested this on ubuntu 18.04 so far.

I implemented a number of features for dealing with the realities of roll media, whether you want to print out a paginated document or make use of the roll-like nature of the roll:

• Several predefined virtual page lengths (50, 100, 200mm)
• Custom page lengths
• Optional marking of page boundaries
• Optional remval of whitespace at beginning and end of page
• Option to not eject the job after it's finished

In addition:

• Plain text filter (print text using the printer's text mode)
• Detection of paper out/door open

And the flagship feature:

• Enhanced resolution mode which uses the printer's ability to vary the power draw in order to get a bit of greyscale output to improve the image quality at the expense of much slower printouts

I've tested with this model. It's stringly inspired by the the Adafruit ZJ-58 driver. It uses the Epson ESC/POS command set with some extensions.

It was quite an adventure writing this code. If you want to know how it works and why I did the things I did, then read the series of blog posts starting here.
