EPSON TM-H6000III -H6000 III Thermal Printer M147G

Need some help with installing this printer.

I have downloaded the latest and greatest OPOS from Epson as well as the EPD. Installed them both.

I have tried using a Serial and Parallel Cable, both failed.

The printer shows up in my Control panel but shows as Not Available.

The printer will do a self test but has not been able to complete a Test Print from the install.

Any ideas??

This is not a USB printer. It only has a 25 pin in the back. I have set this up both using a Parrallel cable and serial, changing the settings of each.

I have changed the dip switch settings also.

It tries to print a test page, but nothing comes out. When I try printing from Word or any other program, nothing.

This should be simple and I know that when it finally works, it is going to be something simple. Three days now trying and talking with IT peeps trying to get this printer working.

It prints self tests fine.

Does anybody know if OPOS is neccessary for this printer? or just the Advanced Driver set??
