Cheap POS printer: Works under WIN10

[KMatle]

I've bought this cheap POS printer:

My solution: Android APP which collects data -> MYSQL-DB -> WIN App -> POS print

It works perfect even under WIN8 & 10:

- get newest drivers (search for 5890 & drivers)
- after install change adapter to USB001 (from LPT or something else)
- IMPORTANT: Plug it to a *real* USB2-Port (not USB3 which will not work)

nice find and quite cheap indeed, ideal for testing stuff at home.

I usually go for the Epson TM POS printer series but they start at €290 or something.

Yep. That's the main reason I've bought it. Prints very clear and fast. And if it get's faulty, just get a new one.

Only thing I miss is an automatic cutter.
