 python-escpos
 =============
 
-Ensure the library is installed on ${lib_arch}/${python_ver}/site-packages/escpos
+This library is available over pypi. So for most of the use-cases it should be sufficient to run
 
-On CLi you must run:
+```
-# python setup.py build
+pip install python-escpos --user  # add --pre if you want to install pre-releases
-# sudo python setup.py install
+```
 
-On Linux, ensure you belongs to the proper group so you can have access to the printer.
+For more information please read the documentation at https://python-escpos.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/installation.html
-This can be done, by adding yourself to 'dialout' group, this might require to re-login
-so the changes make effect.
-
-Then, add the following rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-escpos.rules
-SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0202", MODE="0664", GROUP="dialout"
-
-and restar udev rules.
-# sudo service udev restart
-
-Enjoy !!!
-And please, don't forget to ALWAYS add Epson.cut() at the end of your printing :)

+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+This section gathers various hints on troubleshooting.
+
+Print with STAR TSP100 family
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Printer of the STAR TSP100 family do not have a native ESC/POS mode, which
+is why you will not be able to directly print with this library to the printer.
+
+More information on this topic can be found in the online documentation of
+`Star Micronics <https://www.starmicronics.com/help-center/knowledge-base/configure-tsp100-series-printers-esc-pos-mode/>`_
+and the `discussion in the python-escpos project <https://github.com/python-escpos/python-escpos/issues/410>`_.
