I didn't go totally crazy, though, and stopped before getting too deep into "...and then OCR them using the check scanner" because I remembered I was already keeping track of start/stop times in a database when printing the slips.

One thing I solved differently: I rendered the fax as an image using PIL and then I just print the image. That way I can support arbitrary Unicode and can lay things out independently of what my printer is capable of.

I wanted to setup https://www.colonnes.com but their recommendations were quite expensive.

The first was a todo list printer where the todos are written in a YAML file. It includes fields for the name of the list and the date.

I also started working on a Sudoku printer (which I think is only possible on 80mm paper). But I completely forgot about the entire thing after coming back from vacation.

You've inspired be to get back to working on it :D

As an aside, are there any good recommendations for a wifi/bluetooth printer using 80mm paper that doesn't break the bank? I initially bought the Munbyn ITPP098P but it being USB only is a bit unergonomic.

I just bought one a couple weeks ago actually.
