How to send command to serial/parallell port for Prolific (2305) USB to LPT port attached to receipt printer
I have a USB receipt printer that I know work and have tested to be working!
- I know that the port is USB003 by doing the following:
Accidentally install generic EPSON driver and did a test print that caused garbage printed to the (wrongly installed driver) connected to port USB003.
- I know that the printer connected to Windows 10 is working. And shown in Device Manager as "USB Printing Support" in "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section with the following Haredware Id USBVID_067B&PID_2305&REV_0202. By doing the following:
Run Linux Mint (a flavor of Ubuntu) in Virtual Box in the same machine. Allow the virtual machine to use the "USB Printing Support" device which is then detected as /dev/usb/lp0. To test I do bellow command.
"sudo echo "test" > /dev/usb/lp0"
Which print test on the receipt printer!
Question:
However when properly confgured in my POS (Unicenta OPos) software. The printer does not print receipt!
When I did "echo "testing" > USB003" , it does not print. Perhaps there is other test command for windows? Need to run it as administrator or maybe wrong port name?
How to troubleshoot this on windows? Is there something wrong with my echo command?
Take note that I already remove printer configured to use USB003 since the POS and the CMD command is directly using port USB003 rather than true printer driver.
