Description
Adds an installation note that the PyPI package name is
python-escpos, not the unrelated discontinuedescpospackage. The note explains that installing both can shadow the sharedescposimport namespace and produce import errors like theDeviceNotFoundErrorcase reported in #629.Also adds a changelog entry for the documentation update.
Helps #629.
Tested with
