Simulate Epson TM-t88iii printer

Hi All,
I am a begginner to Labview and not too strong in programming.
I am trying to simulate the Epson TM-t88iii printer using Labview.
We have a POS connected to this printer. Now basic need is, i want to eliminate the Reciept printer and simulate the functionality of it, like printing reciept, Low Paper, no Paper etc
I am using basic serial write and read.vi to simulate this.
Have connected rs232 cable to POS system and a Labview System
With few minor changes in the .vi , i see that i am able to read some data . But the data is not in readable format.
I am not sure, whether i have done something possible, but i am unable to troubleshoot it.
Now Please help me identify whether it is possible to simulate?, what/ where is the issue? Am i doing right ? Or what i need to do to simulate it?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi testme,
so you want to simulate the printer?
Then you have to get a manual with all the details of the Epson Printer driver as you have to re-interprete all the data that is sent to the printer... It's not just receiving some ASCII text, it's a lot of formatting in the printer data!

Will an Epson TM-T88III thermal printer work on a Mac?

What are the chances (I haven't got it yet) of getting an Epson TM-T88III thermal receipt printer to work on a Mac (OS X 10.7.5)? It doesn't have a USB connection. And I can't see any Mac drivers available for it. Its connection is Serial RS-232 (possibly also Ethernet). No USB. I think you can get cable converters from serial to USB. But my concern is software.
I'm not going to be using the printer as a receipt printer in a POS situation. So I'm not fussed about proper receipt software. I just want to be able to print on it (ideally from something like Photoshop, full pixel control).
It seems Epson TM-T88V which has USB is fine with a Mac -- there's Mac drivers -- but they're much more expensive. Be great if I can get the III instead. But if it's not going to work on a Mac obviously there's not much point. Has anyone got a III to work on a Mac? Might it be possible?
Thanks.
(What on earth has Apple done to this text input on this forum? It doesn't work very well -- not normal, horrible behaviour. You have to click several times to move the cursor, selecting text is a bit messed up. Not fun.)
Extra Q: Is there a general printing specific forum on here rather than one that's under/associated with particular versions of OS X?

Have you looked here?

JPOS Programming for Epson TM-T88III printers

Hello,
I am developing a POS Application demo for the Epson TM-T88III printers for serial port communication and trying to print text or bit map images in java.
I have configured all the system and the deployed well with all the necessary jar files and jpos.xml file configured well with JCL editor for the epson printer.
While opening the logical device configured same in jpos.xml file it showing the error as :
jpos.JposException: Could not create an instance.
     at jp.co.epson.upos.pntr.CommonPrinterService.createCommInstance(Unknown Source)
     at jp.co.epson.upos.pntr.CommonPrinterService.open(Unknown Source)
     at jpos.BaseJposControl.open(Unknown Source)
     at com.epicomm.pos.gui.POSReceiptPrinterPanel.openPrinter(POSReceiptPrinterPanel.java:382)
I am guessing some solutions on this but i am not sure on it :
1. There may be some configuration problem with jpos.xml file ?
2. The jpos.properties file (from jcl.jar) needs to be updated and deploy new updated jcl.jar ?
3. Any other jar files required for to create instance ?
4. Some system related problem ...?
While the printer is printing some text on serial port from the Epson Specific Tools.
Plese give me your views, comments, solutions on it.
Thanks in Advance,

Cannot print from Aperture v.2.1.2 to an Epson Artisan 800 printer

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 800 printer and I would like to be able to print from Aperture. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so, in spite of multiple conversations with the Epson support group. I am able to print from other applications, such as TextEdit, Safari, and iPhoto. However, when I try to print from Aperture, I never get any output from the printer. Depending on the image that I try to print from Aperture, I will see an error message flash on the printer's display screen.
I captured the following error message from the "system.log" file:

I am having this problem on both my iMac G5 and my wife's MacBook. Both are running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.5.6) and the latest version of Aperture.
If anyone has been able to print from Aperture to an Epson Artisan 800 printer, please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

I run 10.4.11 and am unfamiliar with that specific Epson. However step one with Epson troubleshooting is to do any OS updates then download and install the latest Epson driver, even if what you are using is current. The new install will simply install over the old installation. Repair Permissions via Disk Utility immediately before and again immediately after both the OS updates and the printer driver installation.
Once good Epson paper and a new driver installation are done the final step is to carefully follow Gary Ballard's excellent color management tutorials:

Good luck!

P.S. Epson tech support for consumer printers has always been worse than useless. Specialized support for the pro printers is pretty good.

Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

Posting the same question multiple times will not get you an answer any faster..

How to get Acrobat Services as a print option for my Epson Workforce 600 printer

1) I subscribed to the Acrobat services, but I am not able to get it to load as a selectable printer on my Epson Workforce 600 printer.
2) I have a version of Win2PDF.exe that I bought previously that produces PDF files from my print command, but when I try to load them into Acrobat Services to, say, merge PDFs they will not load (get a "Corrupted File" message on ALL Win2PDF files, nit just one or two).

What exactly is the error?
And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper

Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper. MAC OS 10.5.6. Have tried all configurations of page set up 11 x17 and 8.5 x 11 spreads, custom page sizes and default paper set up. The print comes out cut off. Epson says it's an Indd problem. Very inconvenient. Got any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with IDCS3 5.0.4 and an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with version 6.11 of the Epson driver. I have a 17x17 document in InDesign that I am trying to print on 17x22 paper. The paper spools a little less than half-way down and the print begins, but it prints about 1/4 of the image--it is as if it cropped at 8.5x11 at the top right corner of the image.
I have had to resort to saving the file as a high-res jpeg and printing from Preview as a workaround. Unreal.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
