There is this thread.. https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/2886

Thanks (I actually started that thread), but this is a different printer. The more narrow size might fit my needs better, but there's no serial input on this particular model of label printer-- it's only USB as far as I can tell. There is an incredibly more expensive model with serial input, but it's out of my price range. The other printer I asked about has been hooked up to an arduino, but I've not seen anyone try it with this one.

Could some sort of USB shield be used? I'm not sure what those really do.

You technically could use a usb shield, but it would require about a years worth of programming

The simple answer is, no - it won't work with the EZ-B.

If there is an SDK, you can consider writing a commandline app that can be launched by ARC. You would need a computer within your robot and the printer connected to it.

Out of curiosity, what are you planning on using a label printer for?

K-9 spits paper out of his mouth

100% right!

Google "The Invisible Enemy" to see the episode where we first meet K-9. You can see all the things he's supposed to be able to do, including giving people a print out that comes from his mouth.

Frank, have you ever watched the few episoodes of K-9 spin-off tv show?

I thnk there were two actually. One which was a newer with a kid and a rounded newer age k-9

And the one I'm thinking of was from the 90's. i think it was Sarah? She had K-9 living with her on earth. I feel there were only two episodes or so... Can't remember what it was called

found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-9_and_Company

i should watch it again
