🐦 Memobird Printer

Direct printing to the Memobird thermal printer on the local network.

📦 Installation

This skill uses uv for dependency management. No manual installation of Python packages is required as dependencies are declared inline within the script.

Ensure you have uv installed on your system.

🚀 Usage

Use uv run to execute the script. uv will automatically create a temporary environment and install the required dependencies (requests, Pillow).

1. Print simple text

uv run skills/memobird/scripts/memobird_print.py --text "Hello from Gemini!"

2. Print styled text

uv run skills/memobird/scripts/memobird_print.py --text "IMPORTANT NOTE" --big --bold

3. Print an image

uv run skills/memobird/scripts/memobird_print.py --image "path/to/image.png"

4. Print a separator line

uv run skills/memobird/scripts/memobird_print.py --line THICK

🛠️ Options

• --text: The string to print.
• --image: Path to a local image file (converted to 1-bit monochrome automatically).
• --ip: Override the default IP (192.168.10.165).
• --big, --bold, --underline: Text styling.
• --line: Print a line (THICK, THIN, or DASH).

💡 Tips

• Character Limit: Thermal paper is narrow (384px wide). Long lines of text will wrap.
• Image Size: Large images might fail if they take too long to transfer. Keep them reasonably sized.
• Connection: Ensure the printer is powered on and connected to the same WiFi network.
