Bug#758735: printer-driver-ptouch: Raster command set has changed for PT-P9500PC and new PT-P750W
Package: printer-driver-ptouch
Version: 1.3-8
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
According to the Raster Command Reference found here:
http://download.brother.com/welcome/docp100064/cv_pte550wp750w_eng_raster_100.pdf
the command ESC 'i' 'c' was removed from the command set of the new PT-P750W
and, as much as I could understand, incorporated in the command ESC 'i' 'K'.
Although the current version of the driver does not support the PT-P750W, it
does cover the PT-9500PC where this change is already partly present, with both
commands existing.
The main consequence that I met was not being able to change the resolution
from standard (180x180) to high (180x360). The other options work only as
defaults, which is tolerable in my case.
Although I haven't tried with the PT-9500 included in the driver, because I
don't have one, I guess the operation is also impaired by this problem.
