Agh, I got myself a Niimbot D110 because it seemed to be the best supported "cheap" label printer (using the excellent https://niim.blue/ website). If I knew these printers had CUPS drivers I might have gone that way instead..
I have a D110 and D110-H, and they're little, neat printers. What's not to like about them?
Does anyone know any good wifi printers receipt printers? The only one I could find was Epson TM-30III but it's like 280E here.
I'm not saying that there are absolutely no situations where WiFi is actually beneficial in a printer, but most of the time that a printer is connected to WiFi it's just making the printer less reliable than it could be if it was connected another way for no reason other than the user not liking wires.
A universal truth of networking: If it can be practically wired it should be wired. Wireless is for things that move and things that need to be put in weird spots it doesn't make sense to ever wire.

They are quite handy for some people. Once you get one, you'll start labeling all stuff. It's fun and also helps finding stuff faster.
Meanwhile once I bought a roll of blue painters' tape I started labeling freaking everything.

There are very few cases where there's a good reason for a printer of any kind to be on WiFi and even less for a receipt printer. If it's being used in a portable application with a laptop or mobile device that's what USB or Bluetooth are for. If it's sitting on a checkout counter and needs to be shared between multiple PCs that's what ethernet is for. I'm not saying that there are absolutely no situations where WiFi…
Some people rent and can't simply run Ethernet everywhere.

Is there a device you can recommend for printing (sticky) labels occasionally? I have a little Brother printer for those narrow little labels, one with a rubber keyboard, but would love something with sticky labels AND Linux connectivity. Something I could script when organizing my workspace, parts, ... to print the appropriate label.
