Title: Ticket Printers Post by: zarobhr on February 21, 2012, 02:53:12 PM I know this is wrong forum but I am wanting to know if rs232 based ticket printers , can they be printed to directly from a PC. I want to be able to Print Promo Tickets, i had a couple rs232 ticket printers and cant find them now, so i want to get a couple more but need to insure i can print to them from a PC
i know not proper forum but wasnt sure of which one. Title: Re: Ticket Printers Post by: jay on February 21, 2012, 04:42:35 PM That depends......
1. Most PCs today do not have a Rs232 port. 2. Can you get a driver for your OS. ASSUMING a new PC with Win 7 and no serial port and a driver exists.... then if you have a USB to serial cable it should work. ASSUMING a new PC with downgraded to XP the driver you have a 50/50 chance that it may not talk to a USB to serial cable. same scenario using older OS - likely no driver exists to support the USB to serial conversion cable. |
