The printer uses special paper that can be written without ink just using heated tip. You can purchase one in any e-shop. There are many tutorials , on how to connect it to raspberry pi. You should use an adapter with right level of Amps, or you experience bleached or no results. What I did I connected the thermal printer to the raspberry-pi and repeatedly requested server for new content. I used library in python that allows me to print images, barcodes and formatted text. Then I created a web gui for creating printer content like: formatted text, canvas with few features, sudoku generator with variable level of difficulty.
