    Instruction provided by @invitu
1- Install Cups on the posbox:

The posbox is a read-only system, you have to chroot it to install cups
Run a posbox on a raspberry-pi and plug a pen drive containing another posbox image
chroot the posbox in the pen drive
install cups with apt-get
plug the epson on the posbox
setup a Raw queue using usb://EPSON/TM-T20II in cups and share it (remove the "?serial=xxxxxxx" part if you want to use the image with another printer
there is no driver for epson printer for raspbian, that's the reason we must use raw queue

2- Install the printer driver on a Windows PC (or Macos) and use the raw queue (http://ipaddress:631/printers/EPSON_TM-T20II)
3- Fixing IP address on the posbox
If you don't want to fix the ip address on the dhcp server, you can fix the IP address by modifying /etc/dhcpcd.conf in chrooted posbox :
# example :
Custom static IP address for eth0.
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.190/24
static routers=192.168.0.254
static domain_name_servers=172.22.232.1 172.22.233.2

Note that if you use a PC (check pywebdriver from Akretion) instead of a posbox, you could use cups with Epson driver installed on the PC...
We did not test that solution but it should work
