Newbie request

Hi there. Long time lurker, first time poster.

Have been looking at this forum for a yearish, and enjoy the chat, especially the photo request!

I have a favour to ask, sorry for asking so soon.

I am trying to install a label printer for work. The printer is Chinese and the software is too!

If anyone can translate these buttons for me I'd be very grateful.

I hope the photo posts.

Thanks in advance.

Vdubber.

Google translate on your phone, take a picture of the screen it should work

Gprinter software? what's the machine model number? They have online manuals I think.

Also, as @andy_mk3 says, google translate on your phone does a decent job.

Great suggestions. Will give them a go. I have the printer manual but there's no mention of a model number.

Should be on a sticker on the printer somewhere

Just though I'd look into Gprinter drivers since i think that's what's in the bottom right of the photo.

Hunting for drivers leads me to this page: http://www.gprinter.hk/download/1/#driver

Seems that the driver for label printers is universal and the install at least seems to be in English. Are you running from a CD? There may be an english version available online if that link isn't it.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

I can't open the drivers on that page HecFam.

Didn't see a reply, sorry!

The drivers are wrapped up in a RAR file, so to open them, you'd need to install some software like WinRAR or 7Zip in order to extract them.
