Installing a POS receipt printer on Mac
Posted on 2012-12-28
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.
I briefly learned about CUPS in my Linux class. So I'm not familiar with it.
To set up the thermal printer I believe I need to install and configure cups. Is this correct? Is setting up a print server the correct approach? Ultimately it would be nice if I were able to print receipts from three different macs.
I am hoping to integrate with new light speed retail POS software. I appreciate thoughts. Thank you.
