Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Star SP200
It is possible to print to a USB connected SP200, but you have: 1. Share it on the network 2. Add the the shared printer as a networked printer 3. Redirect LPT1 to the networked printer from step 2 If you have the ability to just use parallel, I would just do that. It would be MUCH simpler that way.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Star SP200
Thank you Aaron. Your tip about DOS Mode and LPT1 made the difference. I can
now print from Evergreen using the SP200 if I use a Parallel cable and set the
Evergreen printer settings to DOS. Printing with the USB to Parallel cable
does not work. Getting it to print at all is a big step forward.

There was a bug for the SP200s with Xulrunner 1.9 (which is used in EG
2.x). See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/491537
In 1.6.x, we have ONLY been able to use the SP200 series printers via
parallel (The SP200 series printers do not handle HTML and EG will only send
plaintext (DOS Mode) to LPT1). We had a library who was using USB to Parallel
adapters. They ended up sharing their SP200s (to the network) and mapping them
to LPT1 (from the same computer) with NET USE, but it was flaky and they ended
up replacing their SP200 printers with SP512s.

Hello,
Is anyone printing to a Star SP200 receipt printer using
Evergreen 2.1? If you can print successfully to the SP200 from Evergreen can
you tell me the driver you are using? We have tried the sp212 driver but have
not had success. The printer uses a USB connection.
Thanks.
