Hi all,
I have a problem in that I cannot print anything to this printer (epson thermal tm88iii) I have no idea what to do!
I am trying to use this printer to print reciepts in microsoft access but no joy.
The printer works I have been told, I have printed a test page also and works fine but no drivers are coming up in windows 7.
Anyone got any ideas?thanks
Which printer interface do you have parallel, serial, usb, or ethernet? What interface does your computer have?
Hi mate,
Its a serial interface, i have the printer connected to 21pin - 9pin converter attached to a 9pin serial cable connected to a Comm1 port on the pack of my pc.
my motherboard ia a asus p5sd2-vmthanks.
com port enabled in bios? no drivers are needed. print text mode to port. check printer test for comm parameters.
I have enabled the comm port in bios
how do i print text mode to port?
and how do i check printer test comm parameters?thanks
the printer status or test page usually has the comm parameters, the printer and computer ports have to be set the same. note tm88 iv manual mentions the use of a null modem cable.
Yeah mate i have matched up the parramaters of the printer with those parameters with i installed the epson printer drivers (i.e 9600, etc...) still not communicating I am also using a null modem cable.
still no luck!
