Woah!!! This looks amazing!!! 🤯 I've been wanting to make something like this for the longest time, but honestly there was no way I was finding the time. ❤️

My LabelManager PnP is sadly broken, and I've been struggling to find a new one. (I'm in France.) Thus unfortunately it's a bit tough for me to thoroughly test it. I'm hoping that someone else can step up and give a proper review...

MooVx · 2023-05-03T18:54:14Z

On my side tested only on Dymo LM 280.

maresb · 2023-05-03T19:43:38Z

@shoebill-dev, which device model do you have? Would you be willing to review this PR?

@MooVx, is this PR compatible with #53?

maresb · 2023-05-03T19:49:01Z

@MooVx, I think you can solve the TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable error by adding the following line to the top of the file:

from __future__ import annotations

It should be, except for the "Set relative text size" argument because this is solved by percent scalling instead of quantised size here.

maresb · 2023-05-03T21:43:13Z

Nice job with the tests!

I found a shipper in France and just ordered a used device. I'm guessing it'll be here in ~1 week.

maresb · 2023-05-03T21:52:27Z

Magnificent!!!!!

maresb · 2023-05-03T22:05:16Z

I just pinged two more recently active commenters in hopes of getting someone else to test this. I'm very eager to get this merged.

MooVx · 2023-05-03T22:16:03Z

I added changes from #53 here. console & GUI

maresb · 2023-05-03T22:20:25Z

Closes #53

Edit: Hmm, maybe it only works with issues

MatthiasLohr · 2023-05-04T06:31:54Z

Great work!

Some findings:

Context menu for adding/deleting elements: "AddText" etc. should be "Add Text"
Making the functionality of the context menu (adding, deleting) more easy to access would be great, e.g., directly having a "delete" button per line.
Printing two labels in a row does not work ([Errno 16] Resource busy). I have to either restart the printer (off/on) or to restart the application.

Beside that... awesome!

maresb · 2023-05-04T06:44:40Z

Thanks so much @MatthiasLohr for the thoughtful review!!! 😁

What is your printer model? Is it the LabelManager PnP?

MatthiasLohr · 2023-05-04T06:46:38Z

LabelManager 280

maresb · 2023-05-04T06:50:17Z

Ok, thanks. I was really hoping to test this with the LabelManager PnP, but I'm otherwise completely convinced, so I'm going to just cut a new semver-minor release and add your remarks as issues to be patched.

MatthiasLohr · 2023-05-04T06:53:12Z

Why the hurry? Just wait until yours arrived?

maresb · 2023-05-04T07:04:36Z

I'm really excited and I want to maintain the momentum. But yes, it's more prudent to wait, especially until we figure out what's going on with the test from #46.

Context menu miss type fixed.
Printing two labels - fixed.
(adding, deleting) easier, I can do this in nearby future.

Yesterday I receive a new batch of 6mm tapes, and unfortunately, the type size doesn't work properly :( Looks like problem with the bytes alignment to the bottom instead to centre in DymoLabeler class

This looks amazing! I've got the 280. Bit busy at the moment, so not able to contribute anything. Sure to check it out in the future though.

maresb · 2023-05-06T15:06:39Z

I just had a strange thing happen...

I'm running Ubuntu, and I encountered the following error while running dymoprint_gui after installing it with pipx.

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, vkkhrdisplay, eglfs, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

I then ran QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 dymoprint_gui to debug, and I got

qt.core.library: "~/.local/pipx/venvs/dymoprint/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt6/Qt6/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" cannot load: Cannot load library ~/.local/pipx/venvs/dymoprint/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt6/Qt6/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (libxcb-cursor.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

So then I ran

sudo apt-get remove libxcb-cursor0

to install the missing library, and it worked. Then I uninstalled, and it still worked. I'm pretty confused about what happened. In case anyone else runs into this error, or understands what's going on, please write here!

I had a similar problem. Qt6 is quite new. On my Ubuntu 20.04 I need to first update pip to the newest version and then force reinstall pyqt6.

maresb · 2023-05-06T16:47:59Z

I'm also on 20.04. Probably time to upgrade to 22.04, or possibly even the recently released 23.04.

maresb · 2023-05-12T21:49:24Z

I just received the LabelManager PnP. Unfortunately with this branch it neither prints nor gives an error. I'll need to do some debugging.

The code to print the label was indented to where it only ran when using PyUSB, and not with the original HID file mode.

maresb · 2023-05-27T15:35:32Z

I fixed this for the LabelManager PnP! Thanks a lot!!!

maresb · 2023-05-28T17:55:51Z

Hey all, thanks everyone for helping me to test this!

Inspired by @MooVx's effort, I'm proposing a major change in #56 where I switch to pure PyUSB, opening up to plenty of exciting possibilities for future development.

I'd be very appreciative of any further feedback on #56. Thanks!
