Very smooth setup.
Plug in usb and power. Kernel recognized the usb device but no drivers were present.
Head over to
https://www.polono.com/pages/driver-user-manual
Then grab the linux drivers for the PL60.
If it doesn’t work, you can grab my local backup copy polono_pl60_label_printer_linux_driver_v1.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzf polono_pl60_label_printer_linux_driver_v1.2.0.tar.gz
cd polono_pl60_label_printer_linux_driver_v1.2.0
sudo ./install.sh
Unplug and replug the usb and you should be good to go. They include a test 4×6 pdf to print.
You can do that via the Print menu or on the cmd line using the CUPS printer name and the PDF:
lp -d PL60 sample.pdf
NOTE! The printer arrives with about 10 sample labels. My test print, stuff was cut off on the right side. I measured and the silly thing is only 3 3/4″ wide, not 4″. The extra 1000 fan fold labels I ordered were indeed 4″ but the samples were not. Just in case you run into the same thing…
Update:
This printer sucks. Faded and inconsistent prints and the next day the Polono-brand labels were peeling off. Serves me right for once again trusting garbage amazonian products.
