And I just made an HTTP endpoint in golang that outputs PNG labels with small QRs just as I need them, to print out on my Bluetooth label printer.

@rcmd do you use the original printer app and just import the PNG or are you able to print the label directly? If the latter, would you mind sharing the setup?
For now I use the vendor provided app, given it supports a share intent, so I can simply toss a PNG from Vivaldi at it and make it print the label. It does the job, and more importantly, it bypasses all possible obnoxious advertisement.
@rcmd Thanks for the info. I'm still hoping to find a printer for this label size (and roughly that price point) without having to rely on "ad-ware" apps to use it.
