[cups-devel] Seiko label printer missing part of text on left hand edge ACTUALLY last bit of print lost

[KKing]

Hi Helge,

Thankyou for that, I altered to

334 void EndPage(void)
335 {
336         DEBUG_FUNC;
337         SendPrinterCommand(SLP_CMD_FORMFEED);
338         /*  Unregister the signal handler. */
339         ResetSignal();
340 }

sudo make build
sudo make install

lp -d SII_SLP100 -o orientation-requested=4 TestSLP100.txt

unfortunately it behaved the same.

I wonder if commented out line re script on 
https://nurdspace.nl/Labelprinter
<<
#code for moving to next empty label but it's not reliable
#printf "\f" |lpr -P SLP650
 >>
is clue that the formfeed (for this model of printer) is not reliable?

I wonder if it is possible to save to file the bitmap that is sent to 
the printer?
in RasterToSIISLP.cxx
633    Bitmap bm = kEmptyBitMap;
635    PageToBitmap(pageNum, ras, header, bm);

This would highlight whether the part not printing does not make it into 
the bitmap or if it is the actual printing not flushing it's buffers 
properly.
