Firstly I visited and downloaded the file from there at a painful 164KB/Sec. Everything there was for Windows!
Next I went to No Joy!
After a lot more hunting around, I found May be of interest (go to section 4) JavaPOS ADK 1.82 supports the TM-U950 and can be installed on a Linux platform.
As I do not have this printer, I could be barking up the wrong tree!
I hope that this is of some help to you.
I have figured out how to print on both receipt and slip. You have to send the following ESC/POS commands to the printer.
# Select slip y receipt
printf "\x1Bc0\X03" > /dev/lp0
# Parallel printing on
printf "\x1Bz\X01" > /dev/lp0In python you would do something like
printer = open('/dev/lp0', 'wb', 0)
printer.write(bytearray([0x1B, 0x43, 0x00, 0x03]))
printer.write(bytearray([0x1B, 0x7A, 0x01]))
printer.flush()
printer.close()/dev/lp0 is the parallel port. You could also write this commands to /dev/ttySx if the printer have a serial interface.
Hope this helps somebody.
Download this driver, Chose TM Epson Slip on cups. Although is only printing on one side for me, and not in the slip/journal side.
