How can i connect and send data to a Ethernet receipt printer Epson-T88V through python2.7, i have set the ipaddress of the Ethernet printer manually and the utility software communication is also successful. How do i detect and connect to these printers and send data to print. Is there and module for Ethernet connection in python. Using more than one Ethernet printer and separate data to be printed simultaneously from a single system, i am using windows xp and python 2.7 I have added the printer as my default printer, how can i access this TCP/IP printer hope i am clear Thanks.
