Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; some using Epson native drivers and some with only Generic\Text Only driver; all with the parallel interface in the Epson, and the USB port in the PC; all using Symphony Receipt Printer (an app that transforms receipt output from Symphony ILS to customize formatting and style, and passes it on to the print driver). I just went to check some of our high-use circulation computers, and the PC staff use to process cargo daily has a Tm-T88iiip connected with a C2G-brand parallel-to-USB converter cable. It’s been running that way about 5 years.
