How can I print images with a thermal printer and python-escpos under Windows 11?

Question

I can not print images with my thermal printer under Microsoft Windows OS, with python and python-escpos.

• Python version: 3.11.3
• Python-escpos version: 3.0a9
• OS: Windows 11 22H2
• Thermal printer: OCPP-58E-U

Sample code:

from escpos.printer import Usb

p = Usb(0x0456, 0x0808, in_ep=0x81, out_ep=0x03, profile='POS-5890')
p.charcode(code='AUTO')
p.codepage = 'WPC1250'
p.text('Image printing...')
p.image('test.png')
p.close()

Error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Source Code\reward_printer\rewards.py", line 76, in print_something
    p.image('test.png')
  File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\escpos\escpos.py", line 210, in image

    raise USBError(_strerror(ret), ret, _libusb_errno[ret])
usb.core.USBError: [Errno 32] Pipe error

Remarks

• Usb id and vendor are correct. The printer prints the text before the image.
• The image exists and has no errors. I can open it fine with any image editor.
• Strangly only a portion of the image prints before the scripts halts with the error message
• [Edit] File formats that I used ( and produce the same error ): PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF ( static not animated )

Assumption

Is this some kind of usb buffer error?

Question

How can I fix it please?

P.S.

Thank you in advance for your precious time!
