Hi All - I have a serial Star TSP828II label printer and I'm trying to hook it up. &nbsp;I installed a PCI Express 9 pin serial port and Windows detected and installed the driver. &nbsp;It installed it to COM6. &nbsp;I then bought a (on the package it says) modem cable DB25M to DB9F. &nbsp;I plugged everything in, installed the printer driver and assigned it to COM6. &nbsp;It shows 1 print job in queue but nothing ever prints. &nbsp;I did the power + print feed and it prints off the Star test page on a label. &nbsp;Can anyone help me? &nbsp;Is there a port monitoring program I could see if stuff is getting sent there??<br />
<br />
About to lose my mind!<br />

Thanks - Zack

Star Serial label printer not printing

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.
