For now I only have this one and I can't sell it since I need it for the POS.
But if I have anything I will be very pleased to tell you.
Hello Everyone,
I have great news :D (More for me than anything else but still).
For those that readed the posts about this subject from me they already know
that I need a POS with certified software from the Portuguese Finances, so my
idea of a 100% Free POS was almost dead, until now !
If your thinking about selling actual machines send me an email. Maybe there
is something we can do together.
Let's just say that we are lazy (like everyone love to talk about the Greek
people) xD.
Now it's late it's true, 1 month as passed over the limit date (but we can
play with the time since a lot of enterprises don't have any more POS in
stock, so just a bill telling that you have already
I was just saying that I've seen on the Fedora website by RMS if I'm not
wrong that the linux kernel was in violation with the GPLv2 license since it
had non-free firmwares and drivers. Nothing more.
I believe it has non-free firmwares, but only free drivers. :-)
It's certainly problematic. Linux-libre neatly sidesteps all of these
issues.
:)
Glad I could help. Maybe one day we will get into that market and be able to
support a wider audience. Right now though that isn't possible. It is like
gaming. We can't offer what hard core gamers want although it is certainly
something we have looked into before and would like to
Hi Chris,
Before anything, I just want to say for anyone that have the same problems as
me to get recognize the serial device (or even just to make it work without
permissions problems) that this problem is solved just by adding yourself to
the '''dialout''' group like this :
sudo
I didn't understand that last portion. The nice thing about the source being
free is somebody can take it over if it is needed. The solution to the
problem here is to build up demand and fund a developer to take over the
project. Get them to update it and the device will work again.
Quick update on the situation.
I finally made my choice a few weeks ago and bought a Star Micronics TSP600
which is perfect ! .. Well... almost. I've bought the Serial version of the
device, and there is no Gnu/Linux drivers for this version, only for the USB
version and the Ethernet
I'm just curious why you bought the TSP600 vs the TSP650 or another model
when it isn't in the list I put up? Was this an accident or was it price
related?
It would be more interesting to know about the devices in the list above as
there is a driver.

I'm pretty confident Epson is not the way to go. I spent quite a bit of time
looking into this issue and it would appear Star Micronics has made a serious
effort to support GNU/Linux and free software (HP doesn't have a solution).
The problem with Star Micronics is that the licensing is
Is it really that critical you have support on a particular date?
I don't know how strict they are in Portugal about these sorts of things. I
think in the US it would fly under the radar (if there were any requirement).
Then again- I'm not 100% sure of that either. There are some strict

I set up a similar Epson receipt printer 2 years ago under GNU/Linux.
In that setup, the printer had no driver. The POS software only had a
setting to indicate which COM port the printer was on.
When I was trying to work out whether the printer was functioning, I used a
command similar to
