About epos-server
This is a quick and dirty Golang implementation of a Epson TM-Intelligent
print server. This also serves as example code for the
escpos package. This is "more-or-less"
compatible with the ePOS-Print API and shows how ePOS-XML is translated into
simple ESCPOS data.
This has been tested and works as expected on Linux.
Installation and Building
You will likely need the libxml2 and related headers to build the gokogiri
dependency.
If they are not already installed on your system, you will need to do something
like the following for your system:
sudo aptitude install libxml2 libxml2-dev
Then install via the following:
go get -u github.com/knq/escpos/epos-server
You should then be able to build the epos-server like this:
go build github.com/knq/escpos/epos-server
Usage
You can specify the address and port to listen on, as well as the path to the
printer:
user@host# ./epos-server --help
Usage of ./epos-server:
-l string
Address to listen on (default "127.0.22.8")
-p string
Path to printer (default "/dev/usb/lp0")
-port int
Port to listen on (default 80)
TODO
The following still needs to be implemented:
- Fix image decoding and printing
