FAQs & Troubleshooting
Supported File Formats and how to print on Raspbian lite (Linux®)
Supported File Formats
We recommend using the lpr command only when printing the following formats: PDF, PS, TXT, and JPG.
To print other file formats, print directly from the application supporting that file format.
Printing
Use the following command:
MODEL print_file_name
To change the print settings, use the "-o" switch:
lpr -P MODEL -o PageSize=62X1 print_file_name
If the print jobs are not printed successfully, make sure you have correctly configured the printer's IP address or node name using the lpadmin command.
