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
Not run locally; documentation-only change.
Validation:
git diff --checkgit show --check --stat --oneline HEADrg -n "DeviceNotFoundError|python-escpos|unrelated.*escpos|package named ``escpos``|document that the package" CHANGELOG.rst doc/user/installation.rst
