    Hello All

    I am writing a POS application which uses a POS printer. For development I had been using the simulator provided in pos.net framework. But now I want to use a physical printer. After plugging a physical printer to the machine, call to PosExplorer.GetDevices(DeviceType.PosPrinter) does not identity the physical device. I have installed the driver provided by the vendor.

    Could someone please help? Thanks

      Did you install the Windows driver or the Service object / OPOS driver? You want to use Service Object or OPOS driver for POS for .NET can interact with the device. If you installed the Windows driver, you will have to uninstall it and install the Service object / OPOS driver

      To see if the Service object / OPOS driver, use the testapp.exe from the SDK to see if the printer appears in the list.

        Can you post a link to the driver if it is publicly available.

          Thanks Sean for you reply.

          I got RONGTA RP80 USB POS Printer.
          http://www.rongtatech.com/pos-printer/80-pos-printer.html

          They provided windows driver with the device and mentioned that the EPSON OPOS ADK is compatible with their device.

          Using testapp.exe or Service Object Manager I see a long list of SO. However, how would I configure one of those SO to point to my device on a USB port and consume it in my app?

          Please help. Thanks

            Hi ABC07

            Unfortunately the driver is not publicly available.
