To print on USB #34

Hi, anyone already printed via USB (RAW) using this ESCPOS library ? On main page of ESCPOS there are examples like:

"... It can be something like COM3, LPT1, \127.0.0.1\printer, 192.168.0.100:9100, etc. or even a path to a text file like ./print.txt."

but are no mention on RAW USB...

All this devices (except LPT1) I tested and is OK, AND when a USB is mapped to Serial Port too, but there is some printers that map only USB device without emulation of serial... (USB001, USB002, etc)

I can´t print on this ports (USB). Anyone could help me ? Maybe a specific string that I have not used... (??? \USB001 ???)

Thanks

This library is not prepared to print directly via USB port. However, you can easily share the connected USB printer in the LAN and print it via IP address + shared printer name, e.g. \\192.168.0.100\shared_printer
