From the post:
>I acquired a second-hand label printer. I did not want to install any proprietary drivers. So I set up a Raspberry Pi Zero with WiFi and installed ImageMagick and Python with Nix to print labels remotely. First, I checked if by any chance my label printer — a Brother QL-700 — natively supports wireless connectivity. No luck. So I then tried sending a job with the printer wired to my laptop. I used a USB-A (normal, “old” USB) to USB-B (printer USB thingy) cable. I’m bringing this up because this will be relevant for the Raspberry Pi Zero setup.
