JohnSCS Hi, yes we did the installation mode windows driver, using the commands of the printer and windows printer, the test page on the printer exits normally, most commands SambaPOS not print, eg
Printer Command> not emit Beep, No paper cuts, not out commands SambaPOS
Windows printer> Emits beep, cut paper but does not print commands SambaPOS
also try text mode and html mode more unsuccessful
The paper cut I understand it has to be in the printer itself more when we use the same ticket printer so the printer being configured does not cut it.
Contact Elgin, they claim that is not supported SambaPOS and say that the error is in the system and not the printer ):
Hi JohnSCS really is incredible SambaPOS The Elgin assumed that selling a product that is not ESC / POS, here in Brazil does have this model of Epson and we exchange these models Elgin by Epson
Thanks for the help! Now more votes for sambapos that is becoming every day a more incredible
RJ-11 is for the Cash Drawer. It looks like it was a USB connection.
I think the problem was that the printer was in Native Mode and not in Windows Driver Mode. This is set on the printer itself, not by software. Using the software that came with the printer you would be able to do test prints in Native Mode, but it would not print using a Windows Driver.
The moral to this is buy a brand name printer and/or learn how to reprogram thermal printers. Lots of POS systems use Native Mode instead of ESC/POS via Windows Driver, and the Elgin may have been in Native Mode.
I installed SambaPOS V3 because V4 had some incompatity issues on Windows XP. The challenge I am having is that I can not get the software to print tickets.

Any main brand thermal printer.
Epson, Toshiba, any printer that supports ESC/POS.
I have used Epson TM-T20, TPG A795, Toshiba A10 and a few cheaper ESC/POS thermal printers.
I ask this question because this model bought 3 printers (https://www.elgin.com.br/portalelgin/site/produto/detalhe/produtodetalhe.aspx?idprod=641&sm=p12) but does not work the standard ESC / POS tried everything and do not print commands sambapos
Can you print a windows test page ?
if not then its not setup properly or it's in Native Mode, instead of Windows Driver Mode.
If you can do a windows test page, then what settings do you have in SambaPOS?

Has to be set as Ticket Printer in SambaPOS. .
Cut paper is a printer setting, not SambaPOS.
Try <BEEP> or <Bxy> x = count, y = duration. For example <B23> beeps 2 times and beep duration is 3.

That is a typical answer from a supplier.
Can you purchase Epson TM-T20 printers in Brazil?
Can you return the Elgin printers?

Thank you in advance.
