This post is mainly a response to people that have the same needs on reddit, I tried to invite them so please be patient & welcoming !

Just for information, I tried to lpadmin ppd file only, but had a problem with missing filter file, if someone's from debian/ubuntu based distro struggles like me (error shown by cups ui : /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmtr not available: No such file or directory) just asks here and I'll give you people the right file I guess.
default install
print !
- take not that i had specific needs with orientation & custom height/width on my .pdf files, also they were already imposed.
- if default try a print
lp BAT.pdf -o media=Custom.69x65mm -o orientation-requested=5 -o TmtSpeed=4
- if NOT default try a print :
lp -d TM-20-3 BAT.pdf -o media=Custom.69x65mm -o orientation-requested=5 -o TmtSpeed=4
modded installation with speed option ?
