I have recently purchased receipt printers (Epson TM-U220B[usb connection]) to use in conjunction with a POS program. I am running Windows 7 64bit HP
I am unable to even print a test page to them at the moment.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
The installed printer (installed via APD driver) EPSON TM-U220 Receipt printer is showing up as Not available in its status.
What am I doing wrong?? The driver is downloaded directly from Epson on their product page for the U220.
Incidently I get an identical result trying the above on a Windows XP machine.
I hope this is concise and not to waffly!
Thanks
Mike
I am unable to even print a test page to them at the moment.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
-Disconnected the printer.
-Uninstalled all EPSON driver software & restarted the computer.
-Reinstalled EPSON Advanced Printer Driver V4.52 (APD_452E) with these configuration settings:
-Connected printer.
-Windows then installs device driver automatically with the following commentary:
At this point the printer is shown in Devices and Printers under Unspecified with the name UB-U02III (which it looks like is the model designation for the USB adapter board on the back of the printer).-Uninstalled all EPSON driver software & restarted the computer.
-Reinstalled EPSON Advanced Printer Driver V4.52 (APD_452E) with these configuration settings:
