I am trying to install an Epson TM-U220 using a usb-to serial adapter on Windows 7 64-bit. &nbsp;I have tried several different driver combinations to include: the &quot;manual&quot; installation using .INF and .DLL driver files, a generic text only printer driver, and the Advanced Printer Driver (APD_450EWM). &nbsp;On some machines, the text only driver does the trick and that is fine, but on others the print comes out garbled. &nbsp;I feel that in these cases, I could be using the Epson-provided APD. &nbsp;The thing that I believe is causing my problem while using the APD is the use of the Trendnet TU-S9 Serial adapter coupled with the Epson Port Driver (they each have configurable COM port settings.) &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How should I configure these devices to get this all to work?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
