Well done! I wasnt sure where to begin. I had to run the command to enable web interface. I am pleased to see so much documentation.<br />

Thank you Ian.

Hi experts. I want to try using our Star TSP600 receipt printer on an Apple Mac computer. To what I can tell, there is not a device driver to download. Vendor Technical docs say use CUPS. <br />
<br />
I briefly learned about CUPS in my Linux class. So I'm not familiar with it. <br />
<br />
To set up the thermal printer I believe I need to install and configure cups. Is this correct? &nbsp;Is setting up a print server the correct approach? &nbsp;Ultimately it would be nice if I were able to print receipts from three different macs. <br />
<br />
I am hoping to integrate with new light speed retail POS software. I appreciate thoughts. Thank you.

Installing a POS receipt printer on Mac

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.
