print a persian file by thermal printer and python-escpos mnodule

[gray]

hello friends...
i want to print a persian file by thermal printer..
i can print an english file esily..but i face the proble while printing persian text..
i think i don't do some principles...i have studied about unicode encodeand decode in python..but it seems it isn't enough 
please guide me

my code is in python3 :

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Print an Arabic string to a printer.
# Based on example from escpos-php

# Dependencies-
# - pip install wand python-bidi python-escpos
# - sudo apt-get install fonts-hosny-thabit
# - download arabic_reshaper and place in arabic_reshaper/ subfolder

import arabic_reshaper
#from escpos import printer
from escpos.printer import Usb
from bidi.algorithm import get_display
from wand.image import Image as wImage
from wand.drawing import Drawing as wDrawing
from wand.color import Color as wColor

p = Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)

p.codepage="cp720"   #设置解码的类型

# Some variables
#fontPath = "/usr/share/fonts/opentype/fonts-hosny-thabit/Thabit.ttf"
textUtf8 = u"بعض النصوص من جوجل ترجمة"
tmpImage = 'my-text.png'
printWidth = 550

# Get the characters in order
textReshaped = arabic_reshaper.reshape(textUtf8)
textDisplay = get_display(textReshaped)

# PIL can't do this correctly, need to use 'wand'.
# Based on
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5732408/printing-bidi-text-to-an-image
im = wImage(width=printWidth, height=36, background=wColor('#ffffff'))
draw = wDrawing()
draw.text_alignment = 'right';
draw.text_antialias = False
draw.text_encoding = 'utf-8'
draw.text_kerning = 0.0
draw.font_size = 36
draw.text(printWidth, 22, textDisplay)
draw(im)
im.save(filename=tmpImage)

# Print an image with your printer library
p.set(align="right")
p.image(tmpImage)
p.cut()

in the above code, i used the different codepages, but my output from the printer is just question mark ""?"" instead of the persian words
i tried the following code,too:

#coding=utf8

from escpos.printer import Usb
""" Seiko Epson Corp. Receipt Printer M129 Definitions (EPSON TM-T88IV) """

p = Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)

p.codepage="iso8859_6"  

# Print text
p.text(u"سلام\n")

p.cut()

but the printer prints the obscure letters...
i tried the different codepages..but it wasn't usefull

Have you tried using escpos' Magic Encoder to see if it can guess which codepage to use?  https://python-escpos.readthedocs.io/en/...agicEncode

i haven't seen any example about how i can use this module

i haven't seen any example about how i can use this module

hmmm, did you try the Usage Page ?

[nilamo]

My guess would be:

p = Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)

from ecspos.magicencode import MagicEncoder

encoder = MagicEncoder(p)
encoder.write("...something")

[gray]

My guess would be:

p = Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)

from ecspos.magicencode import MagicEncoder

encoder = MagicEncoder(p)
encoder.write("...something")

i used the above code,it couldn't know usb..
i used the following code

from escpos import *

p = printer.Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)

encoder = magicencode.MagicEncoder(p)
encoder.write("...something")

i got this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/start/printerr/thermal-printer/arabicc/magencod.py", line 6, in <module>
    encoder = magicencode.MagicEncoder(p)
NameError: name 'magicencode' is not defined

 shoud i install magicencode module???
how???

[nilamo]

It probably is installed, you just need to import it.  import * might not import sub-modules, and isn't recommended for... any reason.

i used this code:

p = Usb(0x04b8,0x0e15,0)


encoder = magicencode.MagicEncoder(p)
encoder.write("...something")

but i got this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/start/printerr/thermal-printer/arabicc/magencod.py", line 4, in <module>
    from ecspos.magicencode import MagicEncoder
ImportError: No module named 'ecspos'

what is wrong?

[sparkz_alot]

It is MagicEncode not MagicEncoder .

It is MagicEncode not MagicEncoder .

i again got the same error : "No module named 'ecspos'
