How to run a label printer in Linux or which compatible one should I choose?

Question

linux

Good day!
At the moment, there is a thermal printer for labels Atol BP21, I'm trying to start it in Linux via CUPS, I'm sorting through different manuals (of course, there is no such model in the preset ones) and I can't give any sense from it.
Tell me, please, either how to run this one (without the Wine / Virtual Box emulator, etc.), or the cheapest one compatible with Linux.
UPDT: Image search returns GP-2120T model, there is also a mention of BPS2120T model
UPDT2: In dmesg it is defined as GP-58

Answer 1

Google immediately gives out these sufferings: https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/linux-hardware/12994061
ATOL marking is a sales name, not a model.
Model - TSC some. Look at lsusb as the system sees it.
You look, there are firewood at https://www.tscprinters.com/PYCC/support .

Answer 2

In Linux and with conventional printers, there is darkness and trouble, and you are talking about a label printer.
The best advice that can be given is to switch to Windows and get everything done in 10 minutes, rather than spending a huge amount of time starting printing under Linux. I'm serious.

Answer 3

Programming language EZPL, GEPL and GZPL The
only question is how do you want to use it?
The mention of CUPS hints that it is like a regular laser printer, that is, to print there from a Word or browser.
Let me tell you right now, this is a subtle perversion.
Label printers are usually used with special software.
Actually, the printing itself on them looks like this in a simplified way.
Here is the data, substitute it into the template loaded into your memory with the name such and such.
Or commands are sent to the EZPL.
Perversion through cups is possible.
1) CUPS to you pdf file.
2) yeah, I rasterized the page of the document.
3) the picture is now wrapped in EZPL (from one picture)
4) something strange comes out of the printer.
How you will explain the browsers dimensions 48mm by 30mm, I do not presume to guess.
I'm all about the fact that all printing comes down to sending a text file to a usb device
