the green is the cutter
i tried different things when i set it up manually
im little stumped on device URI i found it under dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A9006Med-if00-port0
so i tried usb://dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A9006Med-if00-port0
that didnt do it all i get is an error printer not connected
i also tried serial://........
it just sits in printer que processing nothing more
i read some place where the FT232 needs drivers to make it work any luck with any of this
thanks in advance you all are the best
