 ## About
 
 This project started when I got a Thermal Printer from a friend. I don't really know if you can do anything more, but I guess it's fun.

 ## Requirements
 
 To make this project work, you will need :
-- [A Thermal Printer](https://www.adafruit.com/product/597)
+- A Thermal Printer :
-- A Raspberry Pi
+    - I used Adafruit's thermal printer at first, but it broke down. You can get it here : https://www.adafruit.com/product/597
+    - I then used a EPSON TM-T2OIII. It's expensive, but it's also high quality, and has better CUPS and specific library support.
+- A Raspberry Pi or any computer with USB or Serial.
 - Some electric wires.
-- Some knowledge of the command line
+- Some knowledge of the command line,
-- 3h of your time
+- Some knowledge of Python.
+- 3h of your time, 5h if things need debugging.
+- `git`, `virtualenv`,`pip` and `python` >= 3.8.6.
 
 ## Installation
 
-Start by following the guide [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/networked-thermal-printer-using-cups-and-raspberry-pi) to install the CUPS software needed to print images. If you want, you can install it via the command line, [following this guide](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/cups.html).
+For the EPSON TM-T20III, you can get the CUPS driver from [here](https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=soft&scat=32). It's not specific to the printer I've been using, so you can try with other printers.
+
+With that, you can try out your printer and print normal text, images or pdf documents for example. LittlePrynter itself does not require any other software than the ones installed with it, i.e the ones listed in the `requirements.txt` file.
+
+For the Adafruit printer, start by following the guide [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/networked-thermal-printer-using-cups-and-raspberry-pi) to install the CUPS software needed to print images. If you want, you can install it via the command line, [following this guide](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/cups.html).
 
 You can also get some information from [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-thermal-receipt-printer) and [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/instant-camera-using-raspberry-pi-and-thermal-printer) if you're stuck.
 
 Then, setup the project :
 ```
 git clone https://git.n07070.xyz/n07070/LittlePrynter
+virtualenv LittlePrynter
 cd LittlePrynter
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
-Now, edit `the users.json` and add a user. **Don't forget to remove the test user.**
+
+You should see a folder named `configuration`. Enter it, and duplicate the file named `config.toml.sample`, and rename the copy to `config.toml`. Now, edit this file by following the comments in the file itself.
 
 You can now start the web server with
 
 ```
-export FLASK_APP=littleprynter.py
+export FLASK_APP=main.py
 flask run
 ```
 
+This command should start a web server with which you can test your configuration. If you plan on exposing your printer to the Internet, and give it an IP / URL, _please, please, please_, don't run it this way. Look at Flask's documentation and read about running a production server. It's a little more work, but it will prevent your computer/server being hacked in too easily.  
+
 Voilà !
