I have a Raspberry Pi I want to print from.

I searching a script that works like this:

Push Button 1

Prints...

"Hello World"
" - TIME - " (MM:HH)
" - DATE - " (DD-MM-YY)

...out on a paper.

Push Button 2 Then I need it to take a Photo from the USB webcam, then print...

"Hello World"
" - PHOTO - " (The Photo)
" - TIME - " (MM:HH)
" - DATE - " (DD-MM-YY)

...out on a paper.

Button 1 is what I really need now. Hope anybody can help me.

I'm using a USB Brother Label printer.

    Have you tried looking at something like: http://www.penguintutor.com/linux/printing-cups – askewchan Mar 07 '13 at 19:52
  • that only give me a web based solution to install a printer, not a python-script to printing – Henrik Andersen Mar 07 '13 at 20:04
  • @askewchan, this question seems legitimate to me. Once you've followed your link and configured a printer, how do you get Python to print arbitrary text on it? I've worked with CUPS before and I still couldn't tell you off the top of my head. – Mark Ransom Mar 07 '13 at 20:43

  • @MarkRansom You're right; I'm not the downvoter, though :) – askewchan Mar 07 '13 at 20:48
