I have an MP560. I want to write my own standalone php/Java program that writes to my printer to create formatted labels on a sheet. What is the API to build the print data, eg Escape sequences or other codes?
I'd hope that Canon would be able to answer this very easily. Whether the model is 'retired' or not from a sales perspective, they should be able to say what printer protocol and language it uses and refer to an online document. My solution is a work...
There is a protocol as every application that prints uses it. One work-round is to create a pdf file with TCPDF and send this to the printer via CUPS with 'lp filename.pdf' That worked pretty well. CUPS does not recognise RTF so printed a test file...
