I'm printing some labels on a Zebra TLP-2844 printer, and have been doing it fine on Windows by sending the EPL instructions to the shared USB printer as follows:

> 
> type Label.prn > \my-pc\zebra
> 
> 
> 

and it seems to work with serial ports too, with

> 
> type Label.prn > COM1
> 
> 
> 

Now I'm trying to to the same on Linux, but it's getting really hard! My first guess was:

> 
> cat Label.prn | /dev/bus/usb/005/002
> 
> 
> 

since my printer is on bus 005, device 002 (checked it with `lsusb` command) but it doesn't work at all, as I get the following: 

> 
> bash: /dev/bus/usb/005/002: Permission denied
> 
>

Any guesses?
