Gprinter-1324D , ZJ-9200 Label / thermal printer bluetooth setup for Linux (Ubuntu)

Chinese thermal printer e.g. Gprinter-1324D , ZJ-9200, etc.
For label printing 100x150cm, don't provide driver or setup packer for linux.
And don't have any document about how to use it from bluetooth.
So, after research and some hacking, it's finally work on my Ubuntu Server.
