Huzzah! I am indeed using 3.x, and slapping on an .encode('utf-8') made my
printer try to spit paper at me! Progress.
Also, astute observation about the endpoint needing to be an input, with the
following modification I get:
>>> ep.write('\x1BA'.encode('utf-8'))
2
>>> ep = usb.util.find_descriptor(
intf,
custom_match = \
lambda e: \
usb.util.endpoint_direction(e.bEndpointAddress) == \
usb.util.ENDPOINT_IN
)
>>> ep.read(1)
array('B', [163])
>>>
Anyone want to venture a guess on how I should interpret that? It seems the
[163] is the byte data the manual is talking about, but why is there a 'B'
there? If I put paper in it and try again I get: array('B', [3])
Thanks for all your help guys, just about ready to stared coding the fun part!
