To install a deb version of the epcol software, download the deb version
desired to some folder on your local computer.  The three checksums in the
release readme verify your download is error free.  Open a terminal window by
selecting menu->all applications->system tools->terminal.  Go to the location
where you downloaded the deb version of epcol (e.g., Downloads) by typing
"cd Downloads" in the terminal window.  Typing the following installs epcol on
your system:
	sudo apt install gdebi
	sudo gdebi ./epcol_1.2.0_amd64.deb
where 1.2.0_amd64 is version_arch for the latest version 1.2.0 and amd64 is
for amd64 architecture machines (most pcs although arch is armhf for raspberry
pi machines).  When you do this, you must be logged in as the primary user on
the system and you must enter the primary user login password when prompted
to do so.

Version 1.2.0 adds support for newer ESC-P2 printers that have additional
builtin fonts (e.g., prestige) by added .ep macros for invoking those fonts and
by more parameters for the -style option to invoke those fonts on the command
line.

Read the man page by the command "man ./epcol.1" or by "cat epcol.man".
