Python print to /dev/usb/lp0

Question

I would like print to /dev/usb/lp0 from my python code. In bash it is very simple: echo 'apple' >/dev/usb/lp0

I found linemode, but this is not working. When I try to install it I get these errors.

byte-compiling build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/linemode/renderers/xml.py to xml.pyc
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/linemode/renderers/xml.py", line 67
def __init__(self, source, *, max_width=None, prelude=True):
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How I print to /dev/usb/lp0 from python code?

Answer 1

This is working:

 with open('/dev/usb/lp0', 'w') as printer:
            printer.write("Line 1\n")
            printer.write("Line 2\n")
