The USB to parallel cable is not presented as a serial port, it's a line printer which takes parallel data. The RJ12 connector on the back of the printer is also not a serial port. It's a output for engaging the solenoid in the cash drawer _)

Thank you! Mine is a Vectron Metapace T 3II - its so similar to your Epson that i think that's an OEM Version - they also provide a cups driver for linux for that printer

Cool, I was thinking of getting an old one just to mess around with. My friend has a new Bluetooth portable version, however its only compatible with android and iSO, so I was wondering if it could be hacked to use it on windows any ideas ? (I guess the printer itself would still be using serial commands, just processed from the Bluetooth module maybe?)

You would need to figure out the protocol that the printer uses, Idk if that one would necessarily use the same protocol as mine. If you cant find any documentation, I would do exactly what youre saying and see if I could listen and intercept serial data between the bluetooth module and the printer. But thinking about it now, i would be curious to see if using a computer with a bluetooth module and an IOS/android emulator could work to trick the printer into thinking the computer is a phone.

@@SciCynicalInventing Yeah, I thought about an emulator on Windows (Bluestacks/Android SDK) just wanted to see if I could hack it, for a bit of fun. Nice videos and thanks for the feedback !
