@vicky he was referring to the Report Printer options for printing reports which is not what you are trying to do so just ignore that for now. Instead of Ticket Printer try setting it as HTML printer.
Let me install version 4 so I can help you better it has different printer settings than v5.
I am pretty sure its the Printer Type I just got v4 installed again maybe I can help you work through it.
OK Ticket Printer should work however you need to make sure your printer is set correctly in its drivers. Can you give us a screenshot of your printer settings from the Printers Drivers?
I dont think it was ticket printer but my V4 is linked to server thats switched off.
Sure it was ESC/POS <-- ignore me on that, must have changed in V5
MY BAD, LOL you beat me to it, just jumped on, my spare machine.
I dont think i used the drivers on the disc that came with my printer, I just used GENERIC TEXT ONLY driver from the I have the disc option (that being a similar Chinese printer) and it works fine for ticket/receipt prints and reports etc.
I would add that you might want to drop the line character count to I think about 32 for this narrower printer.
Now I tried it as HTML printer but not printing invoice/bill.
Although it printing report and accounts. Can you elaborate what is the reason for locking of ticket when pressing print button.
In theory I think its to force unlock (as a form of user response prompt) before adding anything else etc after the customer has been given the bill.
I have checked my settings on mine and all are same exc, cash draw and NV logo options but that shouldnt matter, but you say it is outputting from samba now?
Was going to suggest you check the print que encase there were errorsome prints in there but if its printing something that wouldnt be the case.
Mine which sounds like a similar model has option to spint as soft text or soft font (something like that)
Mine prints tickets and reports fine with the defult settings which are pretty much identical.
This comment would suggest to me the issue is in Samba settings rather than printer setup as are getting some prints. Do you agree?
