git clone https://github.com/bef/tcl-escpos.git

Then either use it in-place ./epprint.tcl ... or move/copy/link the directory to your Tcl auto_path, e.g.

$ echo 'puts $auto_path' |tclsh
/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.6 /usr/share/tcltk /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk/tcl8.6
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/tcltk
$ mv tcl-escpos /usr/local/lib/tcltk/

Templates

All templates are just like regular Tcl-strings with backslash/variable/command substitution, e.g.

With \$a=[set a "test"], this is a $a.

results in

With $a=test, this is a test.

See template examples in the templates directory for a bunch of examples.
