PP acting wacky

reba515 · 05-03-2008, 03:57 PM

I just backed up a show from my laptop to my flash drive so i could print the receipts on the desk top. It transferred everything fine, but when I try to print the item #'s are coming up like VH1313144 , QUANITY 21, $0.00
This is really strange !!
I do this all the time and have never had this issue.

When go back to check the show all is looking fine. Except it says that it isn't balanced. I can't fix that because the CC #'s are all xxxxxxx'ed out.
whats up ?? any ideas?

I already submitted the show from the laptop so at least that i don't need to worry about.

I just went and bought a new ink cartridge today for the desktop printer too! We use it more so i figured I would replace the other one next payday...grrr

If you're using PP, I don't know if I have an answer. I have switched to P3, and it creates the receipts in a PDF file, so all I have to do is save the PDF file of receipts to my flash drive and then open that PDF file on the computer with the printer. I did have an issue at one point where the receipts were printing in gibberish, but closing and re-opening the file fixed that.

As for the installing of the printer on the laptop, you may be able to find the drivers for the printer on the manufacturer's website. Or you can just try plugging it in, some printers are automatically recognized and installed without the CD.

I hope that gives at least a little bit of help.
