I have a lot of side projects on GitHub. Some of them are kind of popular, and I tend to get issues posted from time to time. The problem though is that usually they kind of get lost in the mix of my emails, or I forget to go through my repos and add new items to my todo list.

  PHP library for printing to ESC/POS-compatible thermal and impact printers

Alright, so we have the printer hooked up, the Raspberry Pi good to go, but now I need a way to send data to the printer from the Raspberry Pi. This could easily be accomplished with Node or Python, but since I'm a PHP developer and I enjoy stretching the limitations of the language, I'll reach for that. Luckily for me, there's a pretty solid library for working with ESC/POS commands available in PHP.
