Glenn,
I think he's talking about Micros. Micros makes POS systems, mostly for
restuarants. I think the problem is that you're using a modified T88 (though
I'm not 100% sure that the Micros printers are modded).
See if you can get your hands on a T88III (version 3) before you scrap your
project. These are supported, and I have a setup that works with this
printer. If you need a printer, I can sell you one for $250.
