Has anyone found a Linux driver for the CUTOK plotter? (www.cutok.com)
Or is there a similar driver for another printer which works on Linux?
Thanks!

It says it uses RS232, so it should work with Linux without needing any special drivers.
-
My printer model has no RS232 port. Only USB. My laptop also has no RS232 port.
Would a USB-to-RS232 converter on both the Printer and the Laptop be a work-around?
-
Yes or typically they have a USB serial converter built in. It should just show up when using the serial port connection type.
Typically either /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ACM0 are the actual device names.

Thanks for the help frmdstryr!
I got it all working!!! My CUTOK 240 is cutting like a champ!
- I set Inkcut (running on Ubuntu Studio) to print to "Parallel Port".
- I set the device driver to "Inkcut Generic Driver".
- I received an error "inkcut permission denied /dev/usb/lp1"
- I checked the group permissions via the command "ls -alFh /dev/usb/lp1"
- I saw the group had only member "root". My username was NOT in the group.
- I added my name to the print group via "sudo user mod -a -G lp [my=user=name]"
- I rebooted my machine.
- EVERYTHING worked after that.
Thank you SO MUCH!
For what it's worth, after reading your response (above), I came across some of your previously posted advice in this thread (github.com/inkcut/inkcut/issues/168), and that finished getting me fixed up.
On behalf of myself, and my beleaguered wife, - you REALLY made my day. Thanks!
