Yeah, I've implemented a few hundred Epsons at work and they do not - as of yet - have Linux drivers. They do, however, support a Java environment, which can be used in any OS. http://www.pos.epson-europe.com/support/drivers.htm I haven't tried the jpos drivers yet. Since my system was coded in C# to begin with, it shouldn't be much trouble to convert to mono.net or even have a component in java to run under *nix. Here's the POS layout... http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/lacrr/era_test_cashier_lg.jpg Oh, and we're printing barcode labels using either Dymo or Zebra label printers. Haven't checked on the SUSE-ability of either yet. So far, the only way to get it to run on SUSE is under VMWare... http://www.perfectreign.com/files/images/20070622_ERA_Linux2_1.jpg > > The driver for CUPS is available for download. > http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=FenixImvico-SM_2000 > > Almost any barcode scanner will work as it acts as a keyboard. > > We used the Metrologic Eclipse M5145 > http://www.metrologic.com/corporate/products/pos/ms5145.htm > > We also used a bar scanner from DigiPos: > http://www.digipos-systems.co.za/sd303more.asp > > We used an Aqsonic cash drawer, but any cash drawer should work, they > plug into the printer and the printer open the cash drawer.
