brother_ql_web

This is a web service to print labels on Brother QL label printers.

It offers:

  • a Web GUI allowing you to print your labels at /labeldesigner,
  • an API at /api/print/text/Your_Text?font_size=100&font_family=Minion%20Pro&font_style=Semibold to print a label containing 'Your Text' with the specified font properties.

You need Python 3 for this software to work.
