Tiny Printer Club is an open-source community project for recreating the Little Printer experience. The original BERG Little Printer and its servers have been discontinued, but the community has brought this kind of connected thermal-printing experience back to life through the sirius backend, clients, and a new app. The site is not primarily focused on selling products; instead, it provides a complete practical guide, from choosing hardware to running the client.
The core workflow is to create a “fake printer,” generate a .printer file and claim code, claim the device in Nordprojects’ sirius instance, and then use sirius-client to emulate the original BERG Cloud Bridge. Printing is handled by connecting to a Paperang P1 printer via python-paperang. The tech stack includes Node.js 10, Yarn, TypeScript/ts-node, Python 3.7, Docker, and a Bluetooth-enabled Raspberry Pi, Mac, or Unix-like computer. In addition to the Paperang P1, the documentation also notes that ESC/POS thermal printers can be used, and sirius-client already includes a generic escpos driver and a console driver.
The article lists multiple GitHub repositories, including the nordprojects/sirius server, iOS App, Web Client, sirius-client, python-paperang, and image decoding tools. Overall, it follows an open-source, community-collaboration model. Users can print content via the App, Web Client, or API, while community discussion mainly happens on Discord and GitHub issues.
No paid software pricing is mentioned. The main costs come from hardware: a Paperang or other thermal printer, paper rolls, and a Raspberry Pi or computer. Users can connect to Nordprojects’ sirius instance. The article also mentions cloning sirius and generating a fake printer, but the documentation for a complete self-hosted deployment is limited.
Its strengths are extensive documentation, open-source transparency, extensible printer drivers, and preservation of the playful Little Printer experience. The downsides are that setup is complex, dependencies are scattered, and python-paperang is not yet integrated with sirius-client. Some models, such as the Paperang P2/P2S, have not been verified, and flashing a real bridge also carries a risk of bricking it. It is best suited to hardware hackers, IoT developers, and thermal-printer enthusiasts—not ordinary users who want something that works out of the box.
The article does not provide information about mainland China network access, payments, or mirrors, so access status is marked as unknown. In practice, usage may depend on GitHub, Discord, Nordprojects services, and purchasing hardware from overseas e-commerce platforms. If access is restricted, users may consider building their own ESC/POS printing setup or simply using the official Paperang App.
