Hi,
I have been thinking about attaching some buttons to one of my Pico's and use it to print pre-made labels.
Idea is, I have about 10 labels that i print quite often, these are printed at the moment from a PC, but have been wandering if anyone had any ideas on how to attach a Pico to a USB label printer and have it send data from the SD card to the printer?
To get the printer file, i would need to use the 'print to file' option from the PC to generate a raw file that can be sent to the printer.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Does anyone have any idea if its even possible to do it?
Thanks
Matl
