Thanks to folks who responded about this. The problem was that we had to have the "print silently" option checked, otherwise the printer simply wouldn't print. I just thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into the same issue!

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I'm testing a new receipt printer, a Star Micronics TSP100, in Evergreen. We use Evergreen 2.4, and our staff workstations run Linux Mint Debian Edition. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting the receipts to print correctly. The printer drivers are recognized, and all of programs are able to print to the printer just fine. However, Evergreen seems to have issues with it. It will only print if I have the paper size set to a "normal" size (e.g. US letter). However, if I print to the printer with that size paper set, the text is tiny (as in, 1-2 point font). If I have the paper size set to the printer tape size (e.g. 72mm X 2000mm), then Evergreen simply won't print to the printer at all.

Does anyone have any wisdom to impart on how I can get our receipts to printer correctly? Is this something where I should be changing the font size in the receipt template? Is there a way I can get Evergreen to recognize the correct paper size? I've attached the printer settings.

Cheers!
Buzzy Nielsen
