p = Usb(0x0416, 0x5011, profile="ZJ-5870")

p.text("Hello World\n")

p.barcode('4006381333931', 'EAN13', 64, 2, '', '')

p.qr("https://alifeee.co.uk")

p.close()

```

## Installation

```bash

# download files

mkdir -p /usr/alifeee

git clone [email protected]:alifeee/thermal-printer-pi.git /usr/alifeee/thermalprinter

# install python

python3 -m venv env

. env/bin/activate

pip install python-escpos[usb]

# add usb rules

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0416", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5011", MODE="0666", GROUP="dialout"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-escpos.rules

sudo systemctl restart udev

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

# add cgi scripts

mkdir -p /var/www/cgi/do/

sudo ln -s /usr/alifeee/thermalprinter/cgi/qr /var/www/cgi/do/qr

sudo ln -s /usr/alifeee/thermalprinter/cgi/qr.cgi /var/www/cgi/do/qr.cgi
