Remote Printer Setup
- Thread starter Dem0s
- Start date
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?
Just BOH.

On the host computer.
Go into preferences and add the printer you have.
You can find this information in the help menu.
1. In the pcAnywhere Manager window, on the Edit menu, click Preferences.
2. In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Remote Printing tab, click Add Printer.
To find this tab, click the left and right arrows in the pcAnywhere Options window to scroll through the list.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the information for the printer on the remote computer.
If the printer that the remote computer uses is not listed, you must install the drivers first, then repeat this procedure.
4. Click OK.

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??
