I've been searching the net over a week, and I still can figure out how receipt printer works especially how to send commands.
I need to print a receipt to this "PRP-085IIIT" printer. The printer is connected via USB and using a Generic\Text Only driver.
I found this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322091 to send raw data to the printer. I manage to print but I can't cut the page at the end. From what I found, I need to sent command to the printer in order to cut the page. That my main problem, I can't figure out how to send command to the printer.
Also I'm using C# to develop my application.
Any kind of help would be appreciated because I'm out of resources.
Thanks a lot for your help.
You don't need to send command for the cutting of the receipt, you just have to set the DIMM setting at the back of the printer. See the manuals for more info abt the setting.

I’ve been trying to contact the help desk at https://www.online-convert.com/help about an issue with their MIDI to OGG converter. Their web site doesn’t have a telephone number, e-mail or snail mail address, just an online form to communicate with them.
Unfortunately, that single method of communication is broken. I’ve tried over 10 times to send them a message over a couple of days, but the system fails every single time. All I get is the cryptic error message: “Something went wrong. Please try again later.”
Does anyone know how to contact this organization? I like their converters, as they yield some of the best quality OGG files I've heard, but if I can’t contact them for support, I may have to go elsewhere.
Any ideas on how to contact them would be appreciated!
Problem solved: If cookies for their Website were blocked, the comment submission failed. Sadly, it took much trial & error for me to discover this. Would have been much simpler had their error message described the reason for the failure.
I know I should probably ask MS about this, but I dont know if I trust their communication tools to get me a satisfying answer.
I have recently taken the task to test an application of mine.
Part of this test is to send an e-mail to it, then log in and see if I get the result I want (this is automated)
For this the process is:
Open Outlook -> Send Mail
Close Outlook
Open App -> Check result
Open Outlook -> Send Mail
Close Outlook
But for some reason, every second time the outlook app is opened, (including manually opening the app to check on configurations etc.) Mails will go to the outbox but will not be sent, unless I manually trigger them to.
Now, there are possible solutions like keeping the app running continously, or telling my testing-suite to press F9 after every sent mail, but I want to tackle the root cause, and fix the underlying problem.
The Outlook Version used is the latest Version of Office 365 Outlook.
Has anyone else had this experience and figured out a fix?
Thank you in advance.
Keep in mind that message submission is an asynchronous process, so if you close Outlook while it is still sending, the message might end up stuck in the Outbox.
You can call Namespace.SendAndReceive to force submission, but it is still asynchronous. You can hook into the SyncObject.SyncEnd event on the first (All Accounts) SyncObject from the Namespace.SyncObjects collection and quite only after that event fires.
Since this problem occured on a machine I do not own, I tried avoiding certain easy troubleshooting steps. After I couldnt find an answer on my own, and I didnt get responses here that would've helped me solve this without a wooden hammer method, I asked for permission to issue a repair to the local office 365 suite.
After the repair it had redownloaded and installed the entirety of office 365.
After connecting my company MS account to outlook, the issue no longer appeared.
I guess this counts as solving this issue.
Working at a company, I've been set to develop a print service solution which will be used from multiple platforms. The service should be available at least from Windows (native print dialog), OSX, IOS and Android. I need to be able to see which user is printing, how many pages etc.
I'm looking for a system like CUPS for Windows or Linux, which allows me add/connect to this payment system. The payment system confirms the user have enough points to be able to print the given document. The system should be as transparent as possible for the user and he/she should be able to print like a normal network printer.
The payment system is an existing product, so my system should only handle printing and user authentication.
My first thought was to develop a simple listener that would be running on the server and the clients could connect to, add files to the print queue and print if they had enough points. How ever I could not find any tutorial or similar projects for this approach. Therefore I'm looking into adjusting an already existing product for my needs.
I have made a drawing of how I think the system should look like
I found a solution using CUPS with Tea4Cups. Tea4Cups provides pre/post-hooks where the user can define some scripts/commands to run before and after the document is sent to the printer.
More information about this here:

Run a script when user press print, and not start spooling before script ends (linux, cups)
I've looked for this around the internet without getting any good answer so far, so here's the issue:
I have a perl web application used by a small group of people (accessed by their web browser on windows computers, around 100 users) , on an intranet (this application is on a RedHat Apache server) , this application gets the user's inputs and uses WWW::Mechanize to send everything to another page on (a different server, which shouldn't be used directly), process a form and return the result (I know it may not sound optimal, but it was done according to what was required), the issue here is that I need the users to be able to send a file (most likely it will be an image of ~500kB, either through WWW::Mechanize along with the other form data that gets submitted, or by an email with an attachment, either option is equally acceptable), and I know the file can be sent/attached if it's already on the server, my question is simple:
Is it possible to send a file from the client computer (running the perl web application on the browser) without uploading it to the server (that will send it) first?
P.S. This is not one of those "give me the code" questions, I'm not asking for any specific code, I just want to know if this is something that could be done (and if it is to have an idea how), or if I absolutely have to upload the file to the server running the perl application first (I already have a script for that). If this is not possible it's ok, I just want to be sure if I need to upload to the server first before sending the file.
Assuming I understand you correctly, yes, you can upload a file through WWW::Mechanize. See the pb-upload example.
Yes it can be done if the client computer has a mail client that is configurable enough to allow a commmand of the type "mail $TO $SUBJECT -attachment $ATT_FILE". Even then you need user to cooperate by launching the action.
Otherwise, no. You can't do it via JavaScript AFAIK due to sandbox restrictions.
I don't know enough about Flash to know if that's an option.
I am writing a script to handle an automated email inbox. I've never really dealt with mail servers before, but have gotten to a point where every email sent is executing my script. I am using a .forward file in the home directory of the recipient user that looks like this:
"|exec /home/[MY USER]/magic || exit 75 #[MY USER]"
The script simply takes it's input and writes it to a file at this point. The problem is, I don't know how to find the email being sent, and I can't seem to find any documentation on how the .forward-file works in detail. How do I get to the email?
Any help is greatly appeciated :)
Some general information about the ~/.forward file and the interaction with the mail server is described here, and the Filtering Mail FAQ also contains some information.
While just using a dot-forward file might be sufficient you very typically want to use procmail for more powerful mail processing.
