Printer not working.....again...

Install using Common Control Objects.

If you get errors on Check Health in the OPS utility, it's probably either: a real problem with the hardware; you've selected the wrong interface type (parallel/serial/usb); or there is a windows printer set up to use the same port the OPOS printer is on (COM1 or LPT1)

Well the thermal printer is on a Parrallel and my regular HP printer is USB...

It's weird because everytime I've needed to install this Thermal printer, it takes 2 weeks and then it will magically start working all by itself.

So frustrating.

I will try reinstalling the drivers again.

ok uninstalled, then reinstalled OPOS, added my printer, and when checking health instead of an ERROR message, i get the animated hourglass cursor, and it sits and sits, then the program freezes and says [not responding].

it does this in OPOS when I try tp check health and POS when i try to print a reciept.

Well, 2 months later and I am having the same problem as ALWAYS. I had to completely re-install windows and am trying to install the OPOS drivers and the program just freezes when Checking Health.

I want to throw this printer across the room. I fail to see how it needs to be this complicated to install drivers. The printer was working perfectly up until 3 days ago when I had to reinstall Windows.

When I installed I chose Common Control Object instead of Epson CO. The printer is on a parallel.

Please help before I break this thing. :)

khopek,

If you slide open the front panel there should be a small dial. Turn off the printer, then turn the dial until a white triangle appears in the center. It may be out of alignment. The dial instructions should also be under the front panel.

Good luck, Matt

No luck with that. I managed to get the printer to work for literally about 2 minutes a little bit ago though. I have downloaded every single version of OPOS from 2.0 - 2.50.

So I unistalled it and reinstalled 2.4, which is what I have been using for the past year, but it just freezes when I try to Check Health.

I'm not exaggerating when I say EVERY TIME I need to reinstall the drivers it is a two week long ordeal before it magically starts to work by itself, sadly it hasn't started to work yet.
