Printing with POS Printer?

[Matt_]

Hey, I'm looking at purchasing a Star TSP600 POS Thermal printer for integration with a Filemaker Solution I'm currently working on.

The printer has a parallel interface with Windows drivers. Will this work? Will I encounter any problems?

Thanks.

Ive used a thermal docket printer with other applications, but not with Filemaker. A thermal printer is no different from any other printer in terms of platform or application. Just treat it as a normal type printer and adjust the report size to suit the paper width and you shouldnt have any problems (famous last words lol).

Like all printers, the drivers determine how you can control the printing.

See my question from yesterday. You cannot select a printer using a script in FM. You must purchase a "Plug_in" totally ridiculous.
