Yes, I was able to get the printer system working.
First, I have to state that All Null devices are still "broke". After
running the EpsonADK.bin (1.8 1.9 .1.11, doesn't matter) it seems to modify
something that doesn't allow the POS to find the Null devices. I don't know
why. All the .java files and .jar and .class files are located where they
were, and are available, and the "path" (org.ofbiz.pos.....{something}.class)
seems just fine. However, I suppose since I have hardware I don't really
need them....so I digress! :P
I followed the link <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1015>that
Jacques put in the POS section that links to the jira forum that explains
the 1.9 installation. I followed that to the T (except I had to put the
javax.comm.properties in the root directory IE either in Checkhealth (when
checking the device before adding it to ofbiz...or to the ofbiz root... I
believe adding this to the classpath will provide the same result.
To fix the cashdrawer.... (I suppose it was never broke, so I didn't "fix
it". I just...DUH added it to the Epson configuration through SetupPOS.)
making sure to point it to the jpos.xml in pos/config/. (very important).
I added the only cashdrawer that the program would let me. You initialy
tell it it's on the TTYS0 (if it's attached to the printer...(this will
point to whatever input your printer is...because the signal must pass
through the printer.) Then it asks to select the printer it's attached
too... Provides you the logical name to use in pos-containers.
The rest is cake walk!
Let me know if you have questions!
thanks!
