This is also an experimental feature like Auto Discovery Message Server functionality.
So how would we use it? I am not seeing the ability to search for printers in Printer Setup. Do they auto populate in Share name field?
Quick suggestion for Message Server search function. Make it auto populate the message server settings when it finds it. Or give us an option to auto populate when it finds it.
oh wow this could be great for me, I have a network printer I cant seem to install at a location.
Yes I reproduced it. I’ll look that in detail.

OK seems like my commit message is a little misleading but network printer feature solves this issue.
Would you want SambaPOS finds network printers and enumerates them in printer selection combo?
Brill thanks for that Emre

That works perfect, thank you!
I tested it with lots of backups I have. I found few issues and fixed them.
I’m assuming everyone tested latest updates and found no issues with new performance improvements. So, are we ready to release?

I did notice an issue on the build from about a week ago (the second last one), I saw it on a client’s system. I have departments for takeaway and delivery/collection, ticket types for takeaway, collection, delivery. Client took an order for collection (in delivery/collection department), after closing ticket, then clicked takeaway department and started new ticket. Default on takeaway department is takeaway ticket type. However, “last used” collection ticket type got used on that new takeaway ticket. I verified all settings and all were correct.
I also took a backup and tested on my system, but I had the latest build of v5.2.11 (this is the same backup I sent you @emre today by PM). I could not reproduce this issue on my own system, but I could reproduce on the client’s system.
I was meaning to test more before mentioning but since you are ready to release, felt it best to mention now.
I’ve tested 5.2.11 in workshop environment and havent noticed negative impacts.
I’ve seen improvements definitely.
So i tested it in 3 live environments and no one has complained so far which is a good thing.
So on this end its good to go live.

Check if a default menu is assigned to that ticket type.
Yeah it is. Like I say I can’t reproduce it on latest build on my own system but I saw it happen myself on customer system which I had recently upgraded to the second last build. There was other issues with the system with lagging which is why I sent the DB to Emre, it could well be the issues are linked.
Try removing the default menu from ticket type? That setting often reaks havoc when switching departments. But I too notice this. I notice it with delivery system. I have to be careful if I go to delivery entity screen and then back too ticket even if I close ticket sometimes next ticket is delivery and it messes up the state flow.

Do you have exact repeatable steps to reproduce it, so I can test if the same happens for me? Like I say, I can’t reproduce on my own system. I’ve also never seen the issue myself. If it is related to the default menu like you say, I have quite a number of clients already setup like that (this one is the first to report this issue though).
In the past I’ve only ever removed the default menu when using more than one menu and switching with fast menu buttons. On this setup and with the majority of our clients, they only use one menu. @Jesse are you just using one menu, or were you thinking it was because you thought I might be using different menus for each ticket type?
So we can close this topic. We released 5.2.12. After this we will talk for new 5.2.13 Beta
