LPT1, COM1, HIHRD1


We're tweaking the Horizon Receipt Printer code to handle communication out different ports, and we're going to have a new installer ready soon.

I was down in Burlington today, and all their receipt printers use the COM1 port. It was a simple matter to modify the code to handle that, but since they're probably not the only library to do things that way, we're going to make "which printer port are you using for the receipt printer?" a choice in the installer setup screens.

Dean figured out an issue with the Star Micronics printers that some libraries use, which is to toggle one of the DIP switches to turn the proprietary Star codes off.

So far, so good. It's great to see the staff of other libraries excited about it. Time for a quote:

"You folks are free to roam the grounds. Uh, just remember, one of our
patients is a cannibal. Try to guess which one! I think you'll be
pleasantly surprised." -- Simpsons, ep. 4F07, Hurricane Neddy
