hi, i have a tsp643 with a serial interface and I’m using a SerialUsb adapter. If I execute “dmesg” the output is:
type=1503 audit(1327593662.197:24): operation=”open” pid=2763 parent=2762 profile=”/usr/sbin/cupsd” requested_mask=”w::” denied_mask=”w::” fsuid=0 ouid=0 name=”/dev/ttyUSB0″

I installed all the driver but, when I add a printer throught cups via http://localhost:631/, it founds only SCSI as local printer. Why?
Thank you so much and sorry for my bad English,

However. There is a message of cupsys not being present however, and the driver is removed by Ubuntu Software Centre. USC wont install the deb because of the cupsys issue.

Hi Cesar,

I don’t have a 64-bit driver, unfortunately. My build machine is 32 only. If anyone would like to compile a 64-bit version, I’d be happy to post it here for people to find.

Hi Marc Leglise :

Would you have some 64bits driver for this debian package?

Best Regards

If you are in for a treat then look here!

I see some of you guys are asking about POS-systems so I just want to advert why I am using a linux driver for the star printer and thus why I took the time to repackage the driver.

I am developing an ONLINE pos system – all you need is a browser. It’s acting like a normal application, has an Apple like interface and for now ITS FREE!

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!
