Making this work with android

[galmok]

It would be nice to have a way to use this label printer on Android. The protocol seems simple enough, but I wouldn't know how to do it myself.

Genuinely interested, do you have a method of connecting the printer via USB to your phone? It might be possible to do, but I've not done much in the way of external hardware connectivity with Android yet

Many Android phones today have USB OTG which allows the use of USB devices. Flash drives are probably the most often used USB devices. I have tried some Android USB label programs and while they can identify the device, they do not understand the protocol. Forcing protocols sometimes makes the printer output gibberish on the strip. So it is certainly possible.

There is a Android USB host framework and an Android printing framework, but I don't think the printing framework should be used, though.
