Questions

How do I print with the EPSON printer driver API, such as Statusapi ? Because EPSON official documentation is really confusing and unfavorable to developers, so there is no research, I do not know whether you have this way to achieve the friends to share.

Summarize

Because this information on the network is really fragmented, so do this article to organize. Due to the time rush, the depth of exploration limited, but also hope Bo friends to share their experiences.
