SATO America, Inc: Linux and Mac OS X drivers for thermal printers

Sato’s Linux and Mac OS X drivers have been developed for use with its thermal printers, allowing Linux and OS X users to integrate thermal printing seamlessly into their computing system for simple and convenient support of SOHO (small office home office) and enterprise based printing needs.

The drives are currently available for the CL4e/CL6e, CG2/CG4, and M84Pro series printer models.

The SATO drivers easily integrate into the Linux-based PC or Mac set-up for general purpose printing functions utilizing the CUPS printing system. The driver currently supports the following major Linux distributions: Red Hat (.rpm), Ubuntu (.deb), and tar.gz for generic distribution installations. Addressing the requirements of the rapidly growing Linux and Mac communities, the list of supported printers will continue to expand.
