        just got first cup of Coffee, Following up with a few sites.

        Hey - How do you send commands to printers on com ports - to test printing?

        If you direct connect to com1, copy test.txt>prn I think.
        I haven't done that in so many years, the last time I did it, I fell off my dinosaur

        Our printers are direct connected to com 2 and com 3.
        when I tested with

        echo Hello >Com2
        

        I didn't get anything same for com 3 .

          Hmmm. Make a something.txt with a message. Check your devices and see what the printer is named and what port it is connected to. If I remember correctly, the command is copy something.txt>prn or whatever your printer is named. You could do to the com port as well. If it was connected to your 1st parallel port it would be copy something.txt>lpt1. Why the name vs port, I can remember but I do know that it worked when we had impact printers.

              The printer is not named in Windows. It is only in Aloha.

                    anyway - Was just told that we are adding yet another POS Vendor to our mix.,
                    We're now running Mobile Bytes - PAD Based Point of Sales, Customers will be responsible for buying their own hard ware ( i think - IDK dont yell at me. ) and we will provide the software and maintenance

                      i figured it out

                      Copy test.txt \com?
                      

                      Is the correct syntax, also Com ports are exclusive. SO Since Aloha was using it to run the printer, it wasn't going to print test.txt

                      This tells me that it's most likely an aloha problem because the Printer isnt printing different characters now .

                        Odd. I didn't realize that you're running a 'nix' OS. Isn't your printer mapped in /dev/ I believe that would be your destination and I don't remember the syntax. There's tons of Linux gurus here that would know.

                                  This tells me that it's most likely an aloha problem because the Printer isnt printing different characters now .

                                  Odd. I didn't realize that you're running a 'nix' OS. Isn't your printer mapped in /dev/ I believe that would be your destination and I don't remember the syntax. There's tons of Linux gurus here that would know.

                                  excuse my noobness - What is a "Nix" OS?

                                  Anything linux.

                                  I'm running Windows 10..

                                  Well we found the problem didn't we.

                                    I even tried running

                                    Sudo Copy Test.txt>comx
                                    

                                    i figured it out

                                    Copy test.txt \com?
                                    

                                    Is the correct syntax, also Com ports are exclusive. SO Since Aloha was using it to run the printer, it wasn't going to print test.txt

                                        Nah you're good - I made a joke about using Sudo ( because in linux... you get it right?)
                                        so It's easily confused

                                            Hah! I got a great support ticket the other day. "Our power circuit keeps tripping, and we don't know why." They only have 3 computers, a space heater, coffee pot, microwave, and 2 refrigerators on the same power circuit 🙄
