Recently I was working on Java Pos Printers also called thermal printers used in stores to print receipt, or in cinema halls to give you tickets.Yes that small machine which prints your bills and tickets . I have been working on printing a receipt in that using JPOS APIs. So for people who reach this site searching for stuff related to that I will try my best to transfer all my knowledge I could get regarding this.
First of all what we need is a thermal printer, its drivers (search for Java drivers of that particular printer). Once you get the Java drivers, which will be in zip file, unzip and read any ReadMe.txt file provided.Put all the jar files in class path and all the dlls in the path.
After this go to javapos.com website and from there download a sample posiflex example and try to run the demo file. Set all of its jars also in class path before running. If all goes well you should be able to test your printer on firing a print command.

Hi,the procedure looks abit difficult since it is my fist time trying to set up posiflex pp8000 thermal printers on ubuntu machines. How can I get a much clearer walkthrough to get the printer working. Your assistance would be of great help to me .

Hi all. I have the new posiflex MT-4008W. I am trying to run a java based software for my POS System. However the printer of the dock station won't print.
Do you have any idea on creating a JPOS.xml for the dock station built-in printer? There's a link for Java POS driver on their website but i'm having a hard time doing it.
Can anyone help me pleasseeee?? :-[
