Daniel,
I use the same printer, although my POS platform is Windows XP. Not sure
if it'll help, but the relevant section from my jpos.xml is
<!-- Star TSP100 futurePRNT POSPrinter (USB) -->
<JposEntry logicalName="StarTSP100">
<creation
factoryClass="com.starmicronics.starjavapos.ServiceInstanceFactory"
serviceClass="com.starmicronics.starjavapos.POSPrinterService"/>
<vendor name="Star Micronics" url="www.starmicronics.com"/>
<jpos category="POSPrinter" version="1.9"/>
<product description="Thermal receipt printer" name="TSP100"
url="www.futureprnt.com"/>
<prop name="model" type="String" value="TSP100"/>
<prop name="portName" type="String"
value="tsp100lm:5&1d51b7b2&0&1"/>
<prop name="portSettings" type="String" value=""/>
<prop name="doCheckedBlockPrinting" type="Boolean" value="true"/>
</JposEntry>
<!-- Star TSP100 futurePRNT connected cash drawer (USB) -->
<JposEntry logicalName="StarTSP100CashDrawer">

<prop name="firePulseWidth" type="Long" value="200"/>
<prop name="sleepPulseWidth" type="Long" value="200"/>

</JposEntry>
You have to make sure the JPOS driver is installed, and the "portName"
value is critical for correct operation (at least on DOS). I got that by
fiddling with various utilities on the Star install disk (they're all
java, so should work on Linux too).
Cheers, Iain

Hi Daniel,
Please take a look at jpos.xml. This should put you on the right track. From my
experience you have to find the proprietary
elements. I used "TM-T88III POSPrinter" for instance and it take me hald a day to put in
place. Ray Barlow is using "Star TSP600" I
guess and he may help you more on this subject.
BTW "Null POSPrinter" is not the right way to go and I never tried with USB
printer but this should be dealed by drivers(?)

Subject: POS Printer configuration
Hi all,
I am trying configure a printer for the OFBiz POS application.
The printer I am using is a STAR TSP143. This is a printer from the "TSP 100
FuturePRTN" Star new series, that seems to be an
evolution of previous TSP600 series. Note that the printer has to be connected
through USB in my testbed.
I need to work with Linux, and the printer seems to be correctly configured in
Linux using the provided CUPS driver (at least, I
can print from other applications).
However, I am not able to print the receipts from the POS application. I am
working with the default configuration as checked out
from svn.
Shouldn't it work with the "Null POSPrinter" as specified in the jpos.xml file
? (this is the device loaded by default according
to the pos-containers.xml file.)
Actually, I didn't find any documentation about how to configure new POS
devices in OFBiz, so I am quite lost. Could anyone give
me some references, examples about how to do it ?
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel
