I bought this printer recently and, despite poorly translated instructions in the manual, I installed it under Windows 7, but only after some detective work. The manual gives a completely wrong explanation of how to install the driver. To do it right, you need to open the mini-CD that ships with the printer, open the Driver subdirectory, open the POS58 subdirectory (since this is the 58mm wide printer), then double click on the executable driver installation program. From there, follow the prompts, but be sure you know which USB port you will use.

CAVEAT: If you print a test page, it will print the standard Windows 7 test page, so be prepared for A LOT of that tiny roll of sample paper to print, when you have the USB port selected correctly. Otherwise, once it starts, turn the power off to conserve paper and purge the printer buffer.

Once I got this part of the installation right and figured out that it has 30 printable columns without text wrap, I was good to go! My local Sam''s Club has 24 rolls of 58 mm thermal paper (85 feet long) for less than $10, so it should be fairly economical! Or you can but it from Amazon.com....

Although it doesn''t print in a condensed font and I''m still trying to figure out how to print a graphic on the tape for each receipt printed, I like it. Best part: I didn''t pay $180 for a name-brand receipt printer, so I think I got a good value. Except the documentation. I want a rebate for that! LOL

Buy Thermal printer model: POS-5870 with power supply black Now

Bought this printer to replace an old serial printer used in our POS setup. Unfortunately it would not show up or be detected by our Quickbooks POS version 3.0.

Instructione in manual were minimal and traslated, so not much help.

Other than that, it looks to be a decent littl printer.

I installed the printer into a windows xp pro. Popped the mini disk in and followed prompts. Chose the USB port not LPT port (I had 3 usbs to choose from, 2 were taken, so I logically chose the 3rd) then continued on. I didnt have to make any changes to the paper size. I then plugged the printer into the computer and ran a test page. Worked like a champ. Would recc this printer, beats paying upwards of $300 for one.

Want Thermal printer model: POS-5870 with power supply black Discount?

Yes, the documentation is shaky, but I didn''t find a need for it. I popped in the mini-disc to install the driver on my Windows 7 system, plugged in the printer, and tada! Works like a charm.

So I got this to wrok with my laptop...then I tried installing on my register pc, which would not recognize it properly. I tried to follow the prompts...but it kept automatically installing the wrong thing and would not work.....So I switched to another pc I had and it works with that one......I think I will try again with a different USB selected now that I have seen these reviews...but otherwise...it now works good.....and what a deal and fast shipping!
