5. Follow the printer connection instructions: Start with the printer turned off. If needed, connect the printer's power cable from wall to printer. Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer. Turn on the printer. Click OK.
Other info: The driver installer creates a local printer port called USBPOS0 (this might have a different number at the end), and creates an entry in Programs and Features called "THERMAL RECEIPT 4.51".

Here is the list of devices I am trying to connect:
CRS MODEL: 57 POS Cash Drawer
Epson TM-T88IV M129M Thermal Receipt Printer
Metrologic MS3580 POS Automatic Omnidirectional Laser Barcode Scanner Reader USB.
You took a long procedure in restoring your RMS and the OPOS drivers for both printer and cash drawer. Next time, try as much as you can to install SQL2012 and skip the installation of 2005 when installing RMS. The only bad thing about installing SQL2012 is that the instance of SQL2012 may not work when you are performing backup from RMS. Backup has to be done in SQL2012 rather on RMS.
First, apparently I installed wrong drivers for the printer. Uninstalling/reinstalling did nor work. As suggested above, I had to do system restore and install the correct drivers downloaded from Epson Expert website.
I used System Recover to restore the computer to default factory conditions (erase everything). Before installing SQL server, I installed the OPOS drivers for the printer and the cash register. Still I had issues getting SQL server installed and it took me like 10-15 attempts to finally get SQL server installed properly.
The scanner may be plug-and-play by default to emulate a keyboard wedge. If so, you can test scanning in Notepad. If the cursor does not advance to the next line, use the manufacturer's setup scan sheet to add a Carriage Return to every scan.
It would appear the margins are coming from a setting in the Windows driver, however there is no setting anywhere in the driver to allow me to alter the margins. See the image below, the margins highlighted by the red boxes.
I use a ESC/POS Printer to print the customer ticket and as you can see in the image below, there are no excessive left / right margins added. This is of course because ESC/POS mode bypasses the Windows driver settings so the margins are set by the printer, not the driver.
This lets you tweak the page sizes (and add new ones, which just get ignored by receipt printers ). But as can be see here, there are 0cm margins set for both left and right on the paper size I am using, and if I increase the width, it just crops off the right edge of the printout and retains the same margins.
I have also tried changing the DIP switch setting on the printer from 48 characters to 42 characters, this makes the situation worse as the printer them appears to add its own additional margin on the printout.
From what I can tell, we have to start the template with a or similar tag, but the template is then being wrapped into the final document, and I guess that piece of code that wraps it has some definition for the margins (or at least, that is where we could change it). I tried creating a new wrapper inside the template, using but it just throws an error.
Yeah there is, similar as in HTML you can add a Margin="..." attribute on many elements. However I already did that on the top level , but would most likely need to apply it (or another setting) to a parent element that is not available in the template.
I just thought it was some parameter being set in the document being printed. What is frustrating is if I print to XPS either using Print to XPS or your custom document printer, then print from XPS Viewer, it is fitting to page but making it very small - but it uses the whole width. That is why I thought there might have been an easier way of doing it rather than having to set override values for page size in SambaPOS, which I agree is unnecessary. All I was hoping for was to get rid of the excessive margins.
I've got a mobile POS thermal receipt printer connected via USB (or bluetooth). I've installed a driver for it, but it only allows printing in defined paper sizes of width 48mm. I need 72mm. Anything I send to the printer prints out as 48mm, so doesn't fill the page/roll.
Think the driver is for a 52mm machine. It's from AliExpress so no actual meaningful branding in sight as many "brands" of it available. All I have is "MP80C1" as the model and the printing width as 72mm (80mm diameter roll)
It allows you to change a lot of things using the set printer settings application so I wonder if I can use any of those to let it recognise this as the printer and change the width, but not seen any obvious ways yet.

We have a specialised EPOS program which is developed exclusively for us. This program uses an Epson OPOS printer driver and in that regards everything is working. However, we have one user in our head office who creates a lot of gift vouchers which is printed on thermal receipt paper with a bar code.
This is because either schools we supply or their local authority will buy x amount in vouchers to give to parent or guardians who need help with buying their kids school uniform. (So some politics at play).
In pre-COVID times we would just print these with a receipt printer at head office and send them out in the post. The school or local authority would then hand them out and they would wind up getting spent in one of our branches or online. However, now the company will not take the paper from the customer due to COVID concerns. So what is happening now is all these vouchers are being printed and then scanned in to be E-Mailed to a school or local authority. They will then forward on the relevant attachment and when spending in branch, the customer will have to read out the voucher number from their phone or print out and the cashier will type it in manually.
So I was wondering if we could PDF print these instead and just send them off as their own attachments. Our developer says this would require a complete rewrite of the EPOS program to use the inbuilt Microsoft PDF printer in Windows 10. So I was wondering if there was something out there which could mimic a thermal receipt printer as far as the EPOS program is concerned but then allow you to save as a PDF or TIFF or JPEG. The same principle as the Microsoft PDF printer or CutePDF mimicking a windows hardware printer but allowing you to save as a PDF.
The specialised EPOS programme is based on Windows, Linux or maybe a unique OS that your provider has devised? I know that in Linux, with the CUPS system, you get the option to print to the printer or print pdf to a file. With no printer attached then it has to be to a pdf file. Certainly, you can easily scan the images to a jpeg file in Linux and of course it will be a free way of doing what you want.
As it stands this is the OPOS drivers for Epson printers, I do understand what you mean though. The Epson advanced driver would make the receipt printer appear as a normal printer in Windows. But our EPOS program is not compatible with that.
Printing to multiple printers can save time when sending memos, ad copy and other important small business documents. Instead of sending the same print job to multiple printers over and over again, you can send them to the printers at the same time....
We have some internally created software here that works like a POS system, sending receipts to thermal printers, direct via serial. But when we upgraded the terminals and printers to newer versions we had to change to code to use the actual printer driver of the thermal printers. But this way it is now possible to print to any printer driver installed.
