I have a Zjiang 5890k Thermal Printer which is supposed to work on Linux, A linux driver is available from the vendor, however this does not seem to work on Raspberry Pi. The goal of this project is to either find a way to make this driver work, or write a driver from scratch. I would like to be able to print directly from the Raspberry Pi web browser into this thermal printer HTML rendered content. I would also like to be able to print a remote URL directly from a terminal. Details about the Zjian 5890k printer can be found into the manufacturer's website, here [login to view URL]

Hi, i've worked with termal printers and raspberry pi for another project. The drivers don't exists, so the solution is to write a script to use the esc-pos protocol directly from the serial/usb port. I can give you a test program tomorow, to see if the library i've writed for the others printers (Epson TM-III , Epson TM-V) works. For advanced functions like graphics and codes (qr - barcode) i need more time to find and code the tecnical documentation of the printer. The script is in Node.JS

Sorry to break it to you but this just isn't a simple problem. I contacted the company that sells the model of printer you have and they are almost completely unhelpful. The CUPS driver for the printer contains a binary executable that does some of the work, and this cannot run on a different architecture without emulation. Sadly there are no emulators that will run a single linux application. The only answer is to reverse engineer the binary part of the driver and reproduce its functionality in a program that will run on the pi.
