Aloha Printing Intercept

[leadingpeak138]

Hello,

I found this document on the internet that describes something about intercepting Aloha printing.

COM Printing

Aloha provides COM interfaces to allow applications to externally “inject” print jobs into the FOH as well as to intercept printing that is generated by the FOH. You can print almost anything through the IIberPrinter Aloha printing interface, using over a dozen formatting commands. Using this interface, you automatically can print to any printer that is supported by Aloha, and take advantage of Aloha rerouting and error handling capabilities. You also avoid contention for control of the printer.

You can intercept printing from Aloha via the IInterceptAlohaPrinting interface and analyze it, alter it, or redirect it to other devices. This can be useful, especially in international applications.

I am curious about the "intercept printing" via IInterceptAlohaPrinting. I presume this means calling out to a VB DLL or similar program.

Does anyone have notes on how to enable this IInterceptAlohaPrinting?

Cheers,

Justin

Up! Need information about this also. Has anyone been successful in implementing their own print intercept for Aloha POS? I'm getting a failed to create CLSID for the print intercept, even though the other intercept (intercepts adding of items to check, closing a check, applying payments, etc) works just fine. Can't figure out why.

Any help would be great. Thanks!
