Hoin-POS-58-80

Drivers for the Hoin HOP-E801 point of sale thermal receipt printer with variable paper width 58 or 80 millimeters.

I bought the HOP-E801 thermal receipt printer from http://hoinprinter.com/ but the compiled linux drivers were built on a 32-bit system so the filter would fail to print with CUPS on my Raspberry Pi 3. The source was available on the little CD they sent with it and seems to be a fork of the ZJ-58 thermal printer drivers (that's probably fine because many thermal reciept printers share the same printing commands). The PPD seems to work well, it's just the rastertopos filter that stalls/fails the print queue if you're using the wrong one. You can fork this repo to make your own paper sizes or whatnot, or maybe you came here just to download the 64-bit version of the filter I re-compiled. So if you're having problems with the factory-supplied rastertopos filter and don't know where to start troubleshooting, it might be just that you have to take the file rastertopos (for 80mm paper) or rastertopos58 (if you're using 58mm mode) and copy it into /usr/lib/cups/filter/ on your host printing computer.

For those who came here for the factoy--supplied rastertopos and rastertopos58 (built for 32-bit hosts) you can grab that from the filter folder too, or again you can build it yourself.

For whatever reason, the 58mm ppd and rastertopos58 filter did not have the cutter function, so I added that from the 80mm version (but only 64-bit so you'll have to recompile that for 32-bit if you need the cutter).

Excess paperfeed when printing jpg from command line

Hi,

I've encountered an issue where the POS-58-Series shows unexpected behavior.

When I issue the following command from the command line:

lpr -P POS-58-Series qrcode.jpg

It prints the jpg (a QR-Code) but not after it has added ca 86mm of white space before actually starting to print the jpg, which creates a lot of paperwaste.

The jpg has the following characteristics according to imagemagick:

qrcode.jpg JPEG 123x123 123x123+0+0 8-bit Gray 256c 8.3KB 0.000u 0:00.010

I am not using any headers or footers, regular text files are not printed with any additional white space.

Compatibility with CUPS 2.2.5

If I compile the file using latest CUPS I get following issues:

ppd_file_t undeclared

I am trying to make the filter compiling for MacOS. Do you have a clue what might be the issue? Is it, that the file is not made for latest CUPS or is MacOS missing the development libraries.

gcc -g -O2   -c -o rastertopos.o rastertopos.c
rastertopos.c:78:16: error: unknown type name 'ppd_file_t'; did you mean 'cups_file_t'?

Build for MacOS

Hi there,

Thanks for this repo. I wonder, have you built the filter for 58mm for MacOS?

I'm stuck at getting it work with CUPs on macOS. The filter failed.

Set number of copies of a document

Hello,
Is it possible to manually enter the number of copies to be printed of a document? I did some tests on the configuration of the ppd file but I couldn't get the desired result.
