Hello

We got a NCR 7197 which uses Edgeport Serial to USB to connect to a usb port.

A couple of days ago we upgraded our system from an old win xp pos ready to windows 7 pro.

Now we have the problem that we can’t get the printer working.

As soon as we install the edgeport driver it start printing Z in for about 30 lines. If i deactivate the edgeport in the devicemanager it stops printing those od Zs.

I tried the old v5.30 and the new v5.70. Both cause the same issue.

Could anybody help me with that problem?

Greetings from Germany

Simon
