@kostjanix multi-line printing now uses the -n parameter. It's working for me.

Please roll back. multiline-printing does not seem to work anymore with v1.7.

@flolilo thanks for the comment. There is even a better solution: have the rules from upstream actually apply by placing it in the correct order.

I had to change the udev rules to make them work (i.e. use ptouch-print without sudo) :

SUBSYSTEMS == "usb", ATTRS{idVendor} == "04f9", ATTRS{idProduct} == "<YOUR_PRINTER'S_ID>", MODE="666"

where <YOUR_PRINTER'S_ID> obviously is one of the numbers already in the file, e.g. 2007 or 201f.

Could this be included in this package in the form of a diff patch?

Thanks n-st! I fixed the packaging.

The PKGBUILD currently installs the main binary as /usr/bin/ptouch-print/ptouch-print, so it is not part of the default $PATH. This might be a mistake? In that case, line 26 should be

install -Dm755 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/bin" "${pkgname}/build/ptouch-print"

instead of

install -Dm755 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${pkgname}" "${pkgname}/build/ptouch-print"
