ImportError: No module named Image

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm getting an import error after following the instructions for the Raspberry 
Pi.  It's a fresh install of the latest Raspbian image, and I'm using an Epson 
TM-T20 over USB.  I installed the dependencies as per the instructions, and 
obtained the vendor and product ID.

This is my test code:

from escpos import *
Epson = printer.Usb(0x04b8,0x0e03)
Epson.text("Hello World\n")
Epson.cut()

This is the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    from escpos import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/escpos/escpos.py", line 9, in <module>
    import Image
ImportError: No module named Image

Can anyone help?

I'm sorry about the confusion,
you also need to install python-imaging and pyserial.

I've updated the wiki accordingly.

Thank you.

It still doesn't work properly.  "pyserial" is not in the Pi's repository, so I 
built it from source like the other packages.  It at least prints a hello world 
now, but barcodes only print the text portion.  Images print garbage ASCII, and 
QR codes throw an error.

The line:

Epson.qr("You can read me from your smartphone")

results in the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
    Epson.qr("You can read me from your smartphone")
AttributeError: Usb instance has no attribute 'qr'

This is after manually installing the python-qrcode package, and the 
python-imaging package.

Do you mind to tell me which version of python-escpos are you using?

Hello,

I've got the same error message AttributeError: Usb instance has no attribute 
'qr'.
I have search and it comes from the version of python-escpos, I've used the 
1.0, so QR code method are available with the package 1.0-1.

I have updated the version of python-escpos and everything is working well as : 

Epson.qr("You can read me from your smartphone")

Hope it will help you

Regards

Ben
