Open official Rongta driver downloads
RP326 is Rongta’s 203 dpi direct-thermal receipt printer with an automatic cutter. Its product page lists 79.5 ± 0.5 mm paper width and USB, serial and Ethernet configurations; Wi-Fi/Bluetooth are optional customizations. Confirm the fitted ports on your unit. Exact RP326 product
Choose the receipt-printer component
Use the official receipt-printer download list and confirm RP326 in Applicable Model. Three current entries name it; an SDK, label-printer driver or double-color driver is a different component. File dates embedded in URLs do not establish a release version.
| Platform | Official entry | Applicability |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Thermal Receipt Printer Driver (Windows) | RP326 explicitly listed |
| Mac | 80mm Thermal Receipt Printer Driver (Mac) | RP326 explicitly listed |
| Linux | 58mm&80mm Thermal Receipt Printer Driver (Linux) | RP326 explicitly listed |
The page gives broad platform labels. The Linux package CPU and shared PPD details are checked below; current OS/CUPS releases, full package versions, signatures and installation results remain unverified. The product’s older Windows list does not establish Windows 11 or ARM support.
Linux driver download: CPU and Printer80 selection
Package checked 15 October 2026. The official Linux download entry includes RP326. Inside the ZIP, a RAR contains unbuntu_rt58_80.tar.bz2. For this 80 mm-class model, inspect the printer80 branch; Printer80 is its shared software name, not an RP326-specific PPD label.
| Selection | Verified package detail |
|---|---|
| linux32 | 32-bit x86 filter (ELF32, machine 3). |
| linux64 | x86-64 filter (ELF64, machine 62). This is not an ARM64 binary. |
| PPD + filter | Printer80.ppd calls rastertort58_80. Copying only the PPD does not supply the filter. PPD FileVersion 1.1 is not a verified whole-package version. |
| Queue / port | install.sh creates Printer80 with usb://Unknown/Printer. Compare the actual device URI and existing queues before using that default. |
The CPU identification follows the ELF machine registry. No ARM filter was found. A 64-bit Linux label alone does not establish ARM/Raspberry Pi support or compatibility with a current distribution and CUPS version. The script also copies CUPS files and restarts the service: review paths, dependencies and port selection before installation. No script, filter, installation or physical print was run in this review. Return to the RP326 driver download guide to compare the official component.
Identify the fitted connections
The RP326 rear diagram separates PC USB Type B, serial, network, cash-drawer and power sockets. Interfaces vary by configuration. The cash-drawer socket is not a telephone port. Manual p.5 (PDF 6) / Manual p.9 (PDF 10) / Manual p.11 (PDF 12)
Compare the self-test with a PC job
With paper loaded and the cover closed, hold FEED while powering on using the unit’s actual power control; release within five seconds after startup initialization. Manual p.11 (PDF 12) / Manual p.13 (PDF 14)
Common diagnosis: a successful self-test checks device output, not the computer connection. If only a PC job fails, compare its queue, selected port and package in This RP326 driver guide. Use the self-test instructions rather than the adjacent factory-reset procedure.
RP326 errors: six checks
These are named indicators and symptoms, not invented numeric error codes. The first five rows follow the RP32X guide; the last is a common software-selection check.
Check the cause before reinstalling
| Indicator / symptom | Check | Source / next step |
|---|---|---|
| No POWER light | Check the specified adapter and supply. | Manual p.22 (PDF 23) |
| PAPER red, where fitted | Load compatible thermal paper. | Manual p.12 (PDF 13) |
| ERROR flashing | Paper, jam or head faults may be involved. | Manual p.12 (PDF 13) |
| Cutter jam | Do not force the cover; persistent jams need service. | Manual p.22 (PDF 23) |
| Self-test works; PC job fails | Compare interfaces and transfer settings. | Manual p.22 (PDF 23) / This RP326 driver guide |
| Wrong software component | Common host check: choose the receipt-printing driver, not an SDK. | This RP326 driver guide |
