Ihave a new Posiflex PP8800 receipt printer which will work with QuickBooks on com 4 but the drivers cause a PCI memory fail and won't work after shutdown and restart. The computer is happy when it allocates com 3 to the virtual com port and will print a test page from my Windows 7 environment but this does not show as an option for selecting in my version of POS. My QBPOS options are Printer port on Customer Display or Com 4 only. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and all the other USB drivers last and first and all other options don't work either.

The printer's driver that was supplied was not the driver that works with quickbooks. A secondary driver was supplied by the sales support from Posiflex that tells the printer to use a virtual USB port but behaves as a com port instead. As my QBPOS was only showing me the option of choosing com 4, this is what I selected. It worked until I shutdown the computer and restarted the next day. Com 4 then caused a PCI memory fail. After attempting many orders of reinstalling drivers and shutting down and restarting without any success, the following worked.


Open Printers and Devices. If you see two icons for the printer, one under printers and one under other devices or unspecified, remove or delete the icon under printers (This is your windows printers and QBPOS doesn't use the windows print drivers).


Make sure the icon has a com port specified. My computer automatically assigned Com 3. Open Device Manager and expand the LPT and COM drivers section. If your printer is there without an exclamation mark, you're all good. An exclamation mark means something is wrong with the driver or it has not loaded. (Separate issue, make sure you chose the right driver for your operating system and hardware.)


Open QBPOS. Under the options tab choose receipt printer. I had previously created a new printer name PP8800. Under the printer option I chose PP8800 and "connected to" com 3 is now visible. As soon as I selected that happy little printer communication noises occurred. Windows is now happy too since it got to dictate the com port number.


A combination of errors was causing things not to work. Make sure QBPOS is closed and open it after the drivers are loaded and after the windows printer drivers are deleted. This was causing other com ports not to be visible in QBPOS!


Thanks for your prompt reply but as you can see, I finally nutted it out. My computer just decided it didn't like the new printer with com4 even though my previous posiflex printer was using it. The virtual com driver was not available on the Posiflex website. The Sales guy from the business I purchased the printer from was kind enough to contact them and they emailed a rar file in the guise of a pdf which I had to extract with an unzipper. Just telling you so anyone else can find the solution. The new PP8800 thermal receipt printer has superseded the PP7000 which was an option in the QBPOS drop down menu. Nicki


I want to connect it to my laptop via USB however the laptop would not even acknowledge it being plugged in until I turned the number 6 pin underneath to on, for USB interface. This seemed to conflict with instructions to have 1 and 2 on only in order to use a virtual COM drive with USB, however in that configuration I had no success. It's not clear from the manual or the website which driver is the correct one to install.


Hi I've just installed windows 8.1 and now my receipt printer will not work. I've uninstalled it and re-installed again as a generic printer and restarted my pc but when trying to print a test receipt windows gives the error message 'generic/text only is in an error state'. Can anyone help? Obviously this also fires my till drawer so that's not working too.


Thermal receipt printers often require specific Windows 8 / 8.1 drivers, these are usually available via the manufacturer website, but only if the manufacturer is continuing main line support for that particular model at the time Windows 8 was released. In some cases there is no support at all for Windows 8.


Hi I already have the most up to date drivers installed. It was working fine on windows 8, it is only since installing windows 8.1 it says it is in an error state. All my hardware including this receipt printer were purchased from the easify website.


The Posiflex PP-8000 Docket Printer settings are configured through switches under a panel on the base of the printer. You will need a Philips head screwdriver to open the panel on the base of the unit.


It is recommended to download the latest version of the drivers rather than use the drivers on the CD. As the drivers can be difficult to find, MYOB collates the latest drivers into this zip file Posiflex PP-8000 Printer Driver.zip.


I have a problem with my printer on my 16" M1Pro. Printer is connected to a wireless network and works fine on 13" MBP (Big Sur 11.6.5), also on any Windows laptops in my household. The problem appears with my new M1Pro 16". I have the latest driver installed, the same as on the 13" MBP. I remember having some problems on that one too, but only with the scanner part.


I can see the printer under "Add Printer" dialogue, also I can select the correct driver (C460 Series).. But after clicking "Add" I get an error "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time". I have tried this multiple times, sometimes it doesn't show the error, but then the printer is just "In Use".


I have ruled out the printer and router part, everything works over there. All the settings for ports configurations etc are set to default, so maybe something regarding changes in networking on Monterey? Anyway it seems to me like some kind of a networking issue on my M1Pro.. I remember adding this printer a couple months ago, when I first got the M1Pro, but I'm not too sure about it. Anyway all the other networking functions seem to work just fine... Any ideas?


I am having a similar problem in an office of Macs. Any computers that update to 12.3.1 can no longer connect to certain existing printers that worked prior to the update. In our case, the printer that now fails is a shared printer connected to a Windows PC that requires authentication. All other printers work fine. Any computer that updates to 12.3.1 will then fail to print to the one printer (that worked in 12.3). We have a similar error, "unable to connect to printer," and the job then hangs in the spooler, "Ready to print," but without printing.


The Samsung Xpress SL-C460W Color Laser Multifunction Printer is listed as HP Xpress C460W in About AirPrint - Apple Support. This means that the model in question supports the driverless AirPrint technology. An AirPrint-enabled model is compatible with macOS (Monterey), and it should be possible to use it without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).


Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the computer, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the computer. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
