General discussion • Re: Small Thermal Printer and Raspberry Pi 5

If the seller states the printer works with Linux, is that enough to ensure compatibility with Raspberry Pi?

No. Some companies provide Linux binary drivers that don't work on Raspberry Pi's ARM CPU.

Ideally, you want:

• USB connection (because GPIO UART is difficult)
• ESC/POS compatibility (ESC/POS is Epson's control code language for point-of-sale printers. There are many printers that support a subset of ESC/POS, and the Zj-58, Zj-80 drives likely work with those.)

There have been problems reported with Zebra printers. I don't know which models (if any) work.
