Erm. $300 bucks for a thermal printer, seriously? Those can be had for $50 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/High-speed-Receipt-Thermal-Printer-Black/dp/B005HH

- Tichy 14y agoJust goes to show again that you can ask for a healthy markup for good design (well if they succeed it goes to show again...).
- miahi 14y agoYou also need a purpose, not only good design.
- bockris 14y agoAlso https://www.adafruit.com/products/597 https://www.adafruit.com/products/597 if you want to have a more generic case to build around.
- moe 14y agoAnd if you want something that "just works" then you can't go wrong with: http://www.amazon.com/Brother-QL-570-Professional-Label-Printer/dp/B000ZHEVZ8 http://www.amazon.com/Brother-QL-570-Professional-Label-Prin... $90 bucks (3x cheaper than the BERG), automatically cuts the labels, very fast, linux-support...
- npsimons 14y agoDoes it really support Linux, or just Linux/ia32? The last Brother printer I had was binary only for Intel (when I dug into the drivers), which you might not think important, until you try to put it on your NAS or other server made of non-Intel (ARM, PPC, etc, etc).
- Tichy 14y agoI guess a Raspberry Pi could be perfect for connecting such a printer to the cloud. Wonder if the BERG cloud will be "open" and available to other consumers, too.
