Hi, I've looked at all TM receipt printers no such model. You may need to purchase the interface board to make it Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you can provide more info maybe I can help you. How old is the printer? These things change often, New technology it's outdated the day it hits the shelves. Not really but you get the gist.

You must first uninstall the printer from the Control Panel. Reboot the PC. Then reinstall the printer with the printer NOT connected. Then connect the printer and allow Windows to detect the printer and load its drivers. When you get a message in the right bottom corner of the screen "The new HW has been installed and is ready for use" then fireup the word processor and set this printer as default printer and start printing. All the best to you.

I have the same problem...Epson does not work with a parallel to usb cable or adapter. If you still want to use this printer you will have to use the parallel port or change the interface on the printer to USB.

Well according to EPSON the ways you can connect your printer to a computer are RS-232C, IEEE 1284 parallel; RS-485; high-speed USB; 10/100Base-T/TX; wireless. However the way they get you is you have to buy the interface from them. Contact EPSON and see what the cheapest one is. If you're only using it from one computer just a simple parallel cable will do the trick. If you live in the Washington DC area feel free to contact me and if you send me a picture of the back of the printer I can tell you what kind of connection it is. I'm at http://www.inovagent.com

This is definitly a driver problem. Change the driver to one that is compatible with Win XP.

Epson POS driver will not install on a Win2K3 machine due to the InstallShield Wizard w/c checks if your running XP/2K or not.

Download the driver from EPSON POS site & extract the contents first on an XP machine.(Installing the driver will create a C:\Epson folder where ACTUAL driver is extracted).
