pos printer - fixed - suggestion

I finally found epsons 1.9 adk, followed directions found on a ofbiz
jira forum. However, because I'm using a cashdrawer that soley uses a
signal from the printer, even commenting out the cashdrawer in
pos-containers didn't work. I had to change PosTransaction.java and
commented out the popDrawer function. It kept giving me a null
exception because as far s the pos is concerned, there is no drawer.
maybe a thought is to make that conditional for the drawers that don't
actually rely on the pos instead getting the signal from the printer.

Sorry for the grammer, this is comming from my phone.

What kind of error do you get ? I have no cashdrawer and I get no errors using a TM-T88III with ADK 1.8 (just tested)

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

This is what I got while trying to finish a transaction when I had nothing
in the quotes of the cashdrawer.

Exception in thread "Thread-214" java.lang.NullPointerException

at net.xoetrope.xui.helper.SwingWorker$2.run(Unknown Source)

and actually, I got this when I tried using the Null cashdrawer.

I'm not sure of the reason (maybe it's in your code, or it depends of your driver ?) but I get any of these (nor with Null
cashdrawer)

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

Interesting!

I'll try pulling down the newest build, and walking through it again (I
gotta make sure I can get a printer working a second time anyway!)

I'll post my finding.

Thanks,

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux

Jacques,

I pulled down the newest release, and got everything up and working, but it
seems that all of the "null" devices can't be found. Where exactly are those
java files located?

I'm guessing my drawer doesn't pop, becuase I've removed the pop.Drawer
funtion in PosTranaction.java file.

Is there something i can manually load into the classpath through the
.classpath file to get those devices back?

Thanks!

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

I did a quick clean download last night and just ran the pos app clean
and it worked fine and it uses all the Null devices by default as I
wasn't plugged into anything. For testing the Null printer dumps to the
log files and I got a nice little receipt for the order I placed.

You'll find the Null devices in:
specialpurpose/pos/src/org/ofbiz/pos/jpos/service

Are you running in a non standard container? Or from within Eclipse or
something that is missing the classpath values maybe? I'd certainly move
back towards a clean version without mods like removing pop.Drawer until
you find the real cause of the problem.

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

No, but I notice it's after I install the Epson ADK 1.9 (or 1.8 or 1.11)
that all my null devices break.

They work fine up until I run the EpsonADK19.bin from epson-pos.com

Even if I don't move the jars from JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext to
OFBIZ_HOME/spec../pos/lib The null devices still didn't work.

It couldn't find the generickeyboard or scanner as well if that helps. nor
the testmsr now that I think about it.

I'm almost positive it has something to do with the epson ADK, as people on
this list have mentioned before the paradoxes it does to the class_paths.
Maybe just using the jar's from previous machines is a better idea so the
bin installer doesn't futz with my paths?

any Ideas? If I knew what jar file or java file the null devices were set
in, I might be able to force it to the class path or something!

Thanks for the responses guys!

I have any problems using ADK 1.8 on Windows Xp Sp2 (I tried some time ago on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS as well)

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

This is a ubuntu 7.10 with JDK 1.6.

I suppose maybe I'm missing something. I'll have a poke around and see if I
can't find anything. If anyone knows where the null devices are located,
It probably wouldn't hurt my cause.

Thanks all!

Re: pos printer - fixed - suggestion

FIXED!!

I was missing a very important part of epson configuration. Here were my
steps for anyone else that was curious.

First, I have to state that All Null devices are still "broke". After
running the EpsonADK.bin (1.8 1.9 .1.11, doesn't matter) it seems to modify
something that doesn't allow the POS to find the Null devices. I don't know
why. All the .java files and .jar and .class files are located where they
were, and are available, and the "path"
(org.ofbiz.pos.....{something}.class) seems just fine. However, I suppose
since I have hardware I don't really need them....so I digress! :P

I followed the link that Jacques put in the POS section that links to the
jira forum that explains the 1.9 installation. I followed that to the T
(except I had to put the javax.comm.properties in the root directory IE
either in Checkhealth (when checking the device before adding it to
ofbiz...or to the ofbiz root... I believe adding this to the classpath will
provide the same result.

To fix the cashdrawer.... (I suppose it was never broke, so I didn't "fix
it". I just...DUH added it to the Epson configuration through SetupPOS.)
making sure to point it to the jpos.xml in pos/config/. (very important).
I added the only cashdrawer that the program would let me. You initialy
tell it it's on the TTYS0 (if it's attached to the printer...(this will
point to whatever input your printer is...because the signal must pass
through the printer.) Then it asks to select the printer it's attached
too... Provides you the logical name to use in pos-containers.

The rest is cake walk!

Let me know if you have questions!

thanks!
