I'm working on a POS application and using a python script to communicate with the ESC/POS printers. I'm able to successfully send ESC/POS commands to the printer on network but i'm not able to receive response, especially when trying to get status of the printer via network.

here is the link of the python lib

Any help would be much appreciated.

The library that you mention has no means to fetch a response from the printer. If you have a close look, then you will see, that it does only send.
