System preparation
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Install the required
|
|
`dependencies <https://github.com/manpaz/python-escpos/wiki/Dependencies>`__
|
|
|
|
2. Get the *Product ID* and *Vendor ID* from the lsusb command
|
|
``# lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1a2b:1a2b Device name``
|
|
|
|
3. Create a udev rule to let users belonging to *dialout* group use the
|
|
printer. You can create the file
|
|
``/etc/udev/rules.d/99-escpos.rules`` and add the following:
|
|
``SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a2b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1a2b", MODE="0664", GROUP="dialout"``
|
|
Replace *idVendor* and *idProduct* hex numbers with the ones that you
|
|
got from the previous step. Note that you can either, add yourself to
|
|
"dialout" group, or use another group you already belongs instead
|
|
"dialout" and set it in the ``GROUP`` parameter in the above rule.
|
|
|
|
4. Restart udev ``# sudo service udev restart`` In some new systems it
|
|
is done with ``# sudo udevadm control --reload``
|
|
|
