Printing to a ESCPOS shared printer in W10

[pruifernandes]

Is it possible to print to a ESCPOS printer being shared by another pc (W10)?

PC1 has ESCPOS printer connected to it by USB. PC1 shares this printer.

Is it possible for a PC2 to print to this printer using this library?

Hi @pruifernandes !

Yes, it is possible thanks to the Win32Raw() connector.
You can see this reply.

Usage:

import escpos.printer as printer

p = printer.Win32Raw(printer_name='your_shared_printer_name')
p.open()
p.textln("Hello Win32Raw!")
p.close()

I think you need to install the pywin32 package in order to use the printer.Win32Raw() connector.
Also, your shared printer must be able to print remotely from PC2, since the connector just forwards raw ESC/POS commands to the Windows print API.
