Pretty simple. Run a cat 5 cable terminated just like a standard network run from a terminal to where you want the printer. Configure the terminal and com port you are running in the Aloha Manager under the hardware/printer maintenance. You will need a DB9/RJ45 Connector and a DB25/RJ45 Adapter. Both of which can be had from your local reseller probably for nothing if they are nice.
Hope that gets you started in the right direction...
Create a printer in hardware setup, connected to a terminal and a com port. 2nd Build a printer group, put that printer in it and attach that group to the items. Items print to printer groups not printers.

This is the part I am not quite sure on how to do, "Configure the terminal and com port you are running in the Aloha Manager under the hardware/printer maintenance." I have not done it yet. Does it just need to be configured in the BOH or on the terminal as well?
I have pc anywhere and want to dial in to the restaurant and print reports at home. i have aloha table service (the newest version) i've been able to dial in, sometimes but never able to print.
Additional question on installing a printer here - I cannot for the life of me setup a kitchen printer. Here's the setup:
from Term2, I have Remote2 Printer, works fine, on Com1.
On same Term2, I have a COM2 connection to an RJ45 via a DB9/RJ45 adapter. Standard network CAT5 cable.
Printer is Epson U220B, with a DB25 port on the back. There is an existing DB25/RJ45 connector on that printer, but with only 4 pins in it. Could that be the problem??
All seems setup fine in the system, but this damn thing won't connect for anything!
any ideas??
if you have a have a ten terminal license key for aloha i'd like to purchase it. very serious inquiry. tech for three restaurants/lounges in new york. please email me at kareem@kallusion.com or thepresident@tmo.blackberry.net
