title: How to add escpos-php in magento?
body: <p>I am working with magento 1.9. I want to use the <a href="https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">escpos-php driver</a> to print our invoices to the usb thermal printer. I have kept the escpos-php libraries in the root directory of my magento installation. In a custom module of magento, I have overwritten the default invoices which was A4 pdf when rendered and I tried to make a thermal invoice pdf (paper size C7). This file exists at <code>/local/Receipt/Pos/Model/Invoice.php</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
    class Receipt_Pos_Model_Invoice extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Pdf_Invoice
    {
          public function getPdf($invoices = array())
          {
              // I want to access the libraries from here in this 
              // function like shown  below. where 'vendor' is a directory
              // created by myself.
              require(Mage::getBaseDir('lib') .'/vendor/mike42/escpos-php/autoload.php'); // this is the autoloader that comes with escpos-php driver.
              use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\FilePrintConnector; // Warning is raised at this line.
              use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
              $connector = new FilePrintConnector("/dev/usb/lp0");
              $printer = new Printer($connector);
  
           }
      }
     ?&gt;

  <p>What am I trying now is, I want to access the class files of the escpos-php driver from this <code>/local/Receipt/Pos/Model/Invoice.php</code> file. So I have added the absolute path of the escpos-php driver's autoloader to the code in Invoice.php but it results in a warning like the one below</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: include(Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\PrintConnector.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory  in /var/www/html/checkout/Gama_V2/shop/lib/Varien/Autoload.php on line 94
  
  I think the autoloader of Magento is also trying to find the class files of the escpos-php driver and fails to load it. But I don't want the magento autoloader work here because, I have already included the autoloader of escpos-php driver which takes care of loading its files. How can I avoid this warning and proceed to print receipts? Please help me!
