I’m very glad to see so many people getting good use out of this driver! Keep it up!

@Matt, there could be a few different problems causing the blank paper feed out. To print the test page, use your localhost CUPS utility (http://localhost:631/). If your printer is configured through there, it has a very easy “Print Test Page” button (or something to that effect).

If the test page prints fine, then you have a problem in the data you’re sending to the printer. That could be any number of things, but the first place I would look is the formatting. Try varying your formatting to get different output (i.e. use different font-sizes, etc). Your best tool is to use the command line utilities like lpr to diagnose the problem.

@Ryan, we’re using a homebrew piece of software for the POS. In retrospect, maybe not the best decision, but we needed some very custom functionality, and it’s been happily chugging along for 3 years now. How do you like OpenBravo?

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks alot! What pos system are you using for your customer. I am having an issue with the orginal version of the driver in 8.04. It installs fine and works great as a system printer, but inside of OpenBravo POS it won’t print. In the logs give me a rastastar filter error 1 output. Any ideas?

Whoops! There was a permission issue on the new file. I’ve fixed it and it should now work for everyone.

Thanks Ryan!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for fixing the package for 9.10! If you email me the new deb file, I’ll host it in the same place as the existing driver and post a link to it up top.

Hi.

The package does not work for Ubuntu 9.10 because libcupsys2 changed its packagename to libcups2.

I have changed the control in the packaged and rebuilded it.

Any idea where I should put it?
