Can't print

Hello,

I just found your python library today but I have not had success getting it to 
work.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jack

I am getting this message for test.py:

dell@Dell:~/python-escpos-a1ff2d1740ad/escpos$ python test.py

The printer is an Epson TM-T88II connected with USB.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I ran this again:

cd python-escpos
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Then ran:
dell@Dell:~/python-escpos-a1ff2d1740ad$ python test.py

and it worked!

I'm not sure why that made any difference.

Thanks,
Jack

Probably "sudo" didn't work at the first time :)
Anyways, I'm glad it is working for you now.

Thank you for your interest in the project!
