  • Many label printers (especially the older ones) use a proprietary text-based language, and accept plain vanilla text input via their serial port. They don’t use a printer driver as such. To use one of them you have to learn their command language (usually pretty simple) and write a text file describing what you want to print using that language, and upload the file to the printer.

    Start with the printer documentation and go from there.

    Newer printers need linux drivers. Support varies.

    It’s not fraud if you tell the applicant what the rental criteria are and what happens to the money if they are turned down.

    In ancient times, I was a small time landlord. On a couple of occasions I asked for an application fee. I followed these rules, which I explained to the applicant:

    1. The application fee was refunded if I turned down the applicant, provided the background check did not disclose a lie on the application.
    2. The application fee was applied to the security deposit if I granted the rental.
    3. The application fee was not refunded if the background check found a lie on the application, or if I granted the rental and the applicant changed their mind and declined to rent.

    It costs money to do background checks. I wasn’t going to be out of pocket if an applicant was dishonest with me.
