Greetings, I am trying to setup Microsoft point sale software with some difficulties and I am hoping someone here will be able to shed some light on the problems I have:
I have a USB Metrologic bar code scanner, but when I try to configure the POS objects, all I see is COM ports and no USB. The same goes with my Star TSP700 printer that also controls the cash register. It is a parallel port printer but I do not find any printer option in the configuration wizard.
Any ideas are appreciated....
Thank you

Get USB card for Printer works much better than any other interface. then do what Jeff said.

Jeff,
On a similar topic, I have a Star TSP600 printer with USB port. I iniitially tried using the Windows driver but wasn't able to make use of the "pop cash drawer" parameter inside the individual tender properties. I only want the drawer to pop for cash transactions and not credit cards. So I figured my only option is to install the OPOS driver. I needed the assistance of Star tech support to get the printer to simulate a COM port through a USB connection. Everything seemed to be working fine except the printer randomly freezes during receipt printing and usually requires that the pc be rebooted. It seems to happen about every 20 to 50 transactions. The issue is stumping me but I suspect it has something to do with the COM port emulation. I'd like to try the Windows driver but believe I won't have the option to control drawer opening by tender type. Do you know if it's possible to use a Windows driver and control the drawer as I want? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This problem is driving me nuts.

Jeff @ Check Po> Amerdsp,
Notepad, scan something and the correct numbers show up, you're good to go. No setup needed.
Star printers and it will appear in the list of peripherals. Here's Star's website and the driver download on the upper left.
Star printer OPOS drivers will lock up frequently if you have a windows driver also installed for the subject printer. Make sure there is no Windows printer installed and I'd bet your lock-ups will go away...
Would love to hear the result, as I have been fighting with Star on this issue for a long time.
