A server error when printing to journal

Feb 18, 2006 7 Replies

Hello,



I'm unable to print to the journal during a transaction. Keeps saying there is a server error, but everything checks out ok. This for imaging receipts so there is a copy of all the receipts for the day. Not sure if there is a setting I'm missing. The regular receipts print out fine out of the printer. Hopefully I don't have to reinstall.



Thanks!


Are you on MS POS or RMS?

I had this issue with a MS POS install and it turned out to be the version of Epson OPOS software were using.

Steakum,

Does this happen while trying to view a receipt?

If so, make sure you have a printer other than a label printer set as your default printer.

If neither, what is the exact error message say?

This is MS POS - I'm adding the receipt printer and the printer - journal only to the system.

I'll see if I can upgrade the EPSON OPOS Software, but I'm not sure if that would mean a reinstall.

The exact error message is "A server error when printing to journal" - this is for any receipt including no sale.

Thanks!

This is before it prints to the receipt printer which is a Star TSP700. I'm not using a label printer, but hopefully the Star isn't affecting it either.

Thanks!

PJB,

If you have a Star printer, DO NOT put the Epson drivers on it!

PJB,

I haven't been able to get MS-POS working on my machine. I'm building a new tester that I should have working later this week and see if I can get anywhere with it.
