libusb, pyusb and python-escpos on a windows machine
I am trying to work with Epson POS TM-82 printer on windows 7 (64 bit). I have installed the printer's driver. I have python 2.7.15 (64 bit) installed. To work with python I am using this package, python-escpos.
After I have installed python-escpos, and try to run as documented, I am getting an error:
from escpos.printer import Usb
Usb(0x04b8, 0x0e11)
usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available
After some more digging, I found this wiki, according to this I need to Use the most recent version of Zadig, an Automated Driver Installer GUI application for WinUSB, libusb-win32 and libusbK.
So, I downloaded Zadig; from the drop-down menu selected TM-82, and chose WinUSB to replace the driver and installed the driver succesfully.
After that again I ran the same python-escpos documented command from above, and got the same error:
usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available
After some more research I found this answer on stackoverflow. So following the answer, I downloaded the libusb zip file, and copied
libusb-1.0.20_2MS64dlllibusb-1.0.libto myC:WindowsSystem32. And finally copiedlibusb-1.0.20_2MS64staticlibusb-1.0.libtoC:Python27libs
After that again I ran the same python-escpos documented command from above, and this time I got a different error:
NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform
What am I missing here? Could you please help me. Thank you.

Answering my own question here. So, it turns out, the problem was with python-escpos library. I had to remove the following from the printer.py (python module of that library):
try:
check_driver = self.device.is_kernel_driver_active(0)
except NotImplementedError:
pass
if check_driver is None or check_driver:
try:
self.device.detach_kernel_driver(0)
except usb.core.USBError as e:
if check_driver is not None:
print("Could not detatch kernel driver: {0}".format(str(e)))
The details can be found on my blog on Medium.
