labelibre: direct SUPVAN T50M Pro printing over a reconstructed BLE protocol
labelibre implements direct Bluetooth printing to the SUPVAN T50M Pro using protocol knowledge from community analysis of the Katasymbol app. It parses Labelife AML labels into one-bit images, compresses print buffers with LZMA and sends data frames through a BLE transport from a macOS app or CLI.
