raspberry TTL printer USB not able to connect
I was following these installation instruction about configuring a TTL Thremal printer in USB.
Thus when I try : echo -e "This is a test.\\n\\n\\n" > /dev/ttyUSB0
it gives me a bash: no permission
.
I tried using sudo mode : it gaves me the same result
Any idea why ?
Thanks in advance

Use
echo -e "This is a test.\\n\\n\\n" > /dev/usb/lp0
you also must do: sudo gpasswd -a <YOUR USERNAME> lp
instead of
echo -e "This is a test.\\n\\n\\n" > /dev/ttyUSB0
This took hours for me to figure out, full credit to this guide: https://www.theamplituhedron.com/articles/How-to-use-a-tiny-thermal-printer-with-Raspberry-Pi/
