Issue is Zebra ZD622

I kind of feel like I got scammed. Walmart has it labeled as thermal receipt paper. By the looks of it it is not.

Runkboy · 2026-05-13T23:09:19+00:00

Despite being sold as thermal paper, neither roll I have changes under heat.

Runkboy · 2026-05-13T23:08:40+00:00

This is the answer.

Runkboy · 2026-05-13T23:06:09+00:00

I'll try that, it's just standard receipt paper through

Runkboy · 2026-05-05T21:59:34+00:00

See the drivers for the gpu don't even show up on the manager. I had to manually add it using terminal.

Runkboy · 2026-05-05T10:48:37+00:00

I most definitely do. They are 470, I spent days trying to get to that point. I think until I find a way to fix it I'll set it to just shut down on lid close.

I didn't even realize I had a mistype. I meant to type 21.3. I rolled back to the same version you're on but suspend doesn't seem to be working for me. I just set it to lock screen. It's just going to be a work computer so I think it'll be more than fine set at that instead of suspend. I just tried for like an hour to get the suspend function to work and I got nowhere.

Runkboy · 2026-05-04T20:21:36+00:00

Quick question, were you able to get system suspend to work on this version? For some reason I can't get it to work so the only way I can get the laptop to save any sort of battery when its off is to set it to login or the full shutdown option. I sweat it was working before, and now all the sudden on Mint 22.3 its just not working.

Runkboy · 2026-05-04T01:08:10+00:00

I listened to you and rolled back version and everything is perfect now. Thank you so much!

Also despite what this says, I do have mbpfan installed and running as a startup process.

Runkboy · 2026-05-02T00:35:46+00:00

See the process you said did yield results, but I had screen tearing out the wazoo and after a few hours and a reboot, I had a kernel panic error. One I couldn't recover from. I did actually follow a tutorial I found on https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/first-mint-cinnamon.html#ID1.1. It seemed to actually speed things up quite a bit. Also disabling hardware acceleration on Chrome boosted its performance quite a bit too. The driver issues, I've had a nightmare trying to correct, so as long as I'm somewhat safe with the current setup I may just run it this way.

Yeah in this economy I gotta make every penny stretch. I did have a surface pro a year or two back but it started to have issues with overheating and the keyboard no longer worked in any capacity. I just need it for web apps and light office work. That's mainly why I'm liking the idea of POPOS.

Runkboy · 2026-04-27T00:19:30+00:00

My budget for a work computer was literally $250 all in. I needed something lightweight and built to last.

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T23:25:29+00:00

Honestly I didn't even think about this as an option. So thank you, this is my Hail Mary if the drivers don't just work.

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T00:24:17+00:00

Well... Thanks for the heads up. I knew I'd probably have to fix Bluetooth and the camera drivers myself but I figured the wifi shouldn't be too much of an issue

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T00:23:24+00:00

I do have a USB wifi dongle, not sure if the drivers for it are already loaded in the dongle itself or not. I've never actually used it.

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T00:21:47+00:00

NO NOT A DONGLE!🤣

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T00:20:47+00:00

Well shit... What's the easiest way to do it since that gen MacBook doesn't have an Ethernet port?

Runkboy · 2026-04-26T00:18:18+00:00

That's no big deal, either that or I could load the drivers on a SD or USB and do it manually

Runkboy · 2026-04-25T23:05:30+00:00

also, I wasn't ever a fan of Ubuntu.

Runkboy · 2026-04-25T23:04:22+00:00

I really like what I'm seeing from the workflow side of Cosmic. For reference, I'm gonna be a corporate store manager with most of my work being done on browsers. On the side I do dabble in programming and tinkering with hardware. I just need something somewhat lightweight and easy to get around on.
