Printing problem with Star Sp200

I print customer receipt with this printer. When I print the receipt It skip one or two dots in the middle of each letter. That means in sentence at the middle of line the middle dots are missing.  For example to print "I"  it will print top part of  "l" and at middle it will skip few dot and it will finish bottom half of "I". This happens to all lines. What seems to be problem?

Seems like a problem with the printer head...It is usual for matrix printers and it happens due to wear and tear..You will have to get the printing head to get replaced..

Hooked printer up to newer computer which operates windows xp and printer will not print. Powers on fine. But when I add the printer to my system it won't print test page

You'll more than likely need to go to the manufacturers website to download the drivers for the Operating system you've migrated to...even if its the same you'll still need to download the printer driver onto your new computer

Good luck

Right in the middle of printing it will stop, and the power light blinks. This problem is intermittant and frustrating! What does this mean? Thanks.

Its caused due to a Paper Jam , What you can do is turn upside down the printer and shake to see if any paper has got stuck. then replug and check for a test page.

Trying to use star sp200 with quickbooks pos and keep getting spread out printing

Sounds like the "template" is set for "letter size" paper rather than "receipt" paper.

Go to "Workstation" Preferences, and then "Printing". Verify the template selection.

I have an SP200, acquired approx 1995. In the past few day it's starting to linefeed erratically. It's inserting extra linefeeds while printing, resulting in diagonal printing of some lines. This does...

This is caused by the line feed trigger. it is attached by a spring on the side of the mech, depending on the model of the SP200 there could be two triggers on the printer mech. Anyhow, it looks like a hand with a finger pointing out. This controls you line feed and has gone bad. one simple way to fix this is to put a dot label on the top of the trigger. the other solution is to send in for a new trigger.
