    OSM Studio 0.7.0 Pre-release

    domuk released this 2026-11-02 19:59:57 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Pre-release. Tested with the built-in simulators and in the browser, not yet on real printers. Try new settings on a spare sheet or a short label first.

    Made with AI: this project was built with the help of AI. Check results before relying on them.
    Independent open-source project, not affiliated with PixCut, Liene, Cricut or Brother.

    New in 0.7.0

    Label printers (Brother P-touch)

    • Connect over USB through the system's own USB printer driver, with no driver change, in the desktop app on Windows and Linux.
      • It reaches a P-touch held by Brother's Windows driver through Windows' usbprint, or by Linux's usblp.
      • It reads the loaded tape and any problem, and sets the label to the loaded tape.
      • It follows each label as it prints: printing, cooling down, printed, or the printer's error.
      • On Linux, your user needs to be in the lp group.
    • Test printing now has four buttons:
      • Read printer status (new). It prints nothing.
      • Print over the USB driver (with progress) (new).
      • Installed printer, raw data.
      • Installed printer, driver. On Windows it now prints on the driver's own paper size for the tape.

    Stickers

    • Border: goes from −3 to 10 mm in 0.1 mm steps. A negative border cuts inside the artwork, so there's no white edge.
    • Die cut:
      • new Cut length and Bridge settings
      • the default bridge is now 0.5 mm, so stickers stay in the sheet
      • outlines are cut top to bottom in stretches
      • a warning about cutting into the strip
    • Design card: an always-visible Cut group holds Cut shape, Border and Cut style. Image and Outline fine-tuning fold away.
    • Right panel: Cutting, Alignment and Export fold away and start closed. Print stays open.
    • Paper:
      • The paper code the printer reports is the size the last job asked for, not what's in the tray.
      • The "Unknown paper (possibly clear sticker sheet)" guess and the wrong-paper warning are gone.
      • The printer still stops with an alert if the wrong paper is loaded.

    Fixed

    • Save did nothing in the desktop app on a new project. It now asks for the name in its own dialog.

    MCP

    • set_settings takes perf_dash_mm and perf_gap_mm.
    • border_mm goes down to −3.
    • tape_test_print routes are status, sysusb, raw and driver.

  • v0.6.1 7db818b92e

    domuk released this 2026-11-02 17:11:44 +00:00 | 1 commits to main since this release

    Pre-release. Tested with the built-in simulators and on Linux, not yet on real printers.

    Made with AI: this project was built with the help of AI. Check results before relying on them.
    Independent open-source project, not affiliated with PixCut, Liene, Cricut or Brother.

    New in 0.6.1

    • Test printing (Printers → Label printer → Test printing): one button per way of printing, each printing a small test label:

      1. Direct USB
      2. Installed printer, raw data: OSM Studio's own printer data passed through the installed printer (e.g. Brother PT-P900W) untouched. There's no driver change, and it's the one to try first on Windows with Brother's driver installed.
      3. Installed printer, driver: the label as an image, printed by the printer's driver without a dialog.
      4. Wi-Fi
      5. Print dialog
      6. Save raw file

      Each result is listed and goes into Copy report.

    • Label printer model: the label printer card no longer names a model you may not have, and Check printers sets the model to the one it finds plugged in.

    • MCP: tape_test_print.

    New in 0.6.0

    • Check printers (in Printers). It also runs by itself when Connect over USB finds nothing.
      • Lists every sticker and Brother printer plugged in, and explains what's in the way, with the fix:
        • Windows' printer driver holding a P-touch
        • no WinUSB driver
        • no permission, or the usblp driver, on Linux
        • an unsupported model
        • a Wi-Fi printer that doesn't answer
      • The desktop app also reads the system's own device list and its installed printers.
      • Copy report gives a text version to send.
    • Label printer detection: label printers are recognised by USB id or by the model name they report, and their USB channels are read from the printer.
    • Test connection for the Wi-Fi printer address (desktop app).
    • One Printers button (top right) for connecting and managing all printers.
    • Several sticker printers at once:
      • Rename them and pick a default.
      • Print all can share the sheets between them, printing in parallel with each printer's own pressures.
    • Next sheet loaded button between sheets.
    • Demo printers removed.
    • MCP: check_printers, list_printers, select_printer, rename_printer, disconnect_printer; print takes printer and share.

    PT-P900W on Windows: if Check printers says Windows' printer driver is using it, use Print with system dialog or Wi-Fi printing, or switch it to WinUSB for direct USB. See Tape labels.
