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.

The Epson drivers will be used to talk to Microsoft Windows. A .NET
Windows application talks and prints to the Epson printer using the
OPOS drivers. As I mentioned previously, I have talked about the Micros
setup just coz the Micros OPOS drivers have been installed on the
machine and I thought that it might be conflicting with the setup of
Epson OPOS drivers.
