    I have an Epson TM-U220D Serial Printer. The printer passes the self test wthout any problem. When installed to an XP or Windows 2000 PC (using port Com1 - my Dell PCs have only one serial port each), the test page is not printed even though no errors are alerted. It is as if the operating system assumes the printing has taken place, as the print queue changes from 1 to 0 after a few seconds.

    I have tried using both generic/text driver (as advised by our POS supplier) and the Epson drivers for the printer. Help!!!

Yo tengo el mismo problema con la miniprinter TM U220D, en este momento, pero ya analice diversa informacion y el problema parece ser, que segun sus caracteristicas, debe comunicarse con el puerto RS-232 o Paralelo bidireccional y segun sanjaypk, el lo tiene conectado al serial, igual que yo y aunque si imprime la pagina de prueba, no imprime desde el programa punto de venta.

La solucion, conseguir un cable paraleo o en su defecto, un convertidor para conectarla al puerto paralelo.

Espero les sea de utilidad, ya les contare si a mi me funciono.

Saludos desde Mexico. Sorry, por respuesta en español.

Hello Sanjaypk,

Printer problems can be a real headache.

This definitely sounds like a driver issue because you are able to print a test page so that tells us the computer is successfully communicating with the printer port. What is happening here is the Computer is communicating with the printer through the Operating System (Windows or Apple etc) but the driver IN the software for the POS is not. You didn't mention the computer Operating System you are using or the POS software but the dates of each are ctitical.

The tm-u220d is a high speed printer so make sure you set your LPT1 settings for High Speed Bi Directional printing. (You do this in the Printers Configuration area.)

As far as a driver, check the dates of the driver and look for updates. If you like what I've told you so far then let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best Regards and Best Luck!
Charlie

Can i install two(2) EPSON TM-U220 printer on a terminal?
You can have as many printers as you want but each has to have a port defined. When you installed the driver, you must have defined both as one printer and now it's confused the system. Uninstall ALL printers and start again making sure each has a unique port.

Epson TM-U220D. Parallel to USB connection. Which drivers should I install?
Hi Ali

The problem by doing this is that not all Parallel to USB cables work right out of the box with your equipment.

What you need to do first is make sure that your computer sees the device through the cable. Then when it prompts you for the drivers for the printer install the driver set (parallel) the connection should not matter at this point. However the step of the computer detecting the device first is very important.

I hope this helped.

Cant print even test page
hit "start" and go to Printers and Faxes. In the side bar, choose add a printer, follow the instructions in the wizard to automatically, install and use the printer. Also check and make sure that you have any software that comes with the printer, as some of them need it in order to run. If all else fails, uninstall the printer by selecting it in the Printer and Faxes, right clicking and select DELETE. Then follow the above steps to reinstall it.

Epson TM-U220D Printer Status
Hi, On the PC that will not display printer status correctly, pls run MSCONFIG (start, run, type "msconfig", OK); in the System Configuration Utility Window, click on the tab Startup, see if the EPSON Status Monitor is present and checked. If it is not present, check if you have Lavasoft Ad-Watch or similar program running. This prevents the EPSON Status Monitor from registering and running correctly. If such a program is running, temporarily remove Automatic setting and reinstall the EPSON Status Monitor. Accept any registry modification at this point. Restore all settings once installation is finished. If still a no go, try wiggling the parallel connector a bit and make sure it is snug and fit. If all else fails, you may have to consider: Installing to only 1 PC, share and make it a print server assuming you have networked all your PCs; or re-installing Windows (Ouch!) Hope things work out for you. Pls post again how things turn up. Kind regards.
