I can't say anything about Star printers from experience, but I know
that if you disable the header/footer/margin information in the staff
client (page settings button) and are using an Epson printer/driver
you can enable an option to remove excess whitespace from the end of
the receipt.
The Epson driver has this under "Printing Defaults", then the
"Document Settings" tab and calls it Paper Conservation. It defaults
to bottom.
Star's drivers may have a similar option? I don't have any star
printers installed to check.

We would also like to know if there is a fix for this problem. We also use
TSP1000 receipt printers and have had this problem since our 2.0 upgrade
(prior to that all receipts printed just fine). Our checkout and fine
receipts and our hold slips print with lots of extra paper even though the
setting is for receipt.
I've experimented with the receipt printer properties with no results.

Hi Lynn,
Our Star TSP100 printers are working with Evergreen but the transit slips
print a considerable form feed, as if it thinks the paper is 8.5 x 11. I've
toggled settings to receipt paper and we've examined the receipt templates.
Do your transit slips form feed extra paper at the end?
Thanks.

We use Star Micronics TSP100ECO. These are USB thermal printers and work
great. These are totally Font/html configurable on the receipts.
The only minor inconvenience is that if you send something to the printer
the print Dialog box comes up, and you have to hit OK for it to actually
print. There may be a fix for this but I have yet to have the time to
really look in to this.
I bought these when our old Star Micronics SP200's would not work with
1.6.1.4.

Can anyone recommend an affordable, reliable receipt printer that works well
with Evergreen's circulation functions?
Printers with parallel connections seem problematic -- those with serial
connections are impossible.
