[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a prompt for printing, but can't determine how to send a 
checked out item to the printer

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.043 and Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
Hey! Great work on this self-check project. We are really excited about getting 
it up and running. We are running it with SD Horizon and it is working very 
well so far--just hoping to figure out where the printing bubble or button is, 
or whether we need to program that ourselves (highly doubtful we could do it). 
We don't yet have the email option (no postmaster) here at our system, but 
printing is highly desirable. Thanks for all your hard work, you are most 
likely destined to become a library saint.

You'll need to set the receipt printer as your default printer for the machine 
running the self-check. Once you've checked out an item you'll see a print 
button. Pressing the print button should print the receipt straight to the 
receipt printer with no dialog box/bubble. It was designed this way for ease of 
use. Let me know if you need more clarification.

Got the printer set already, must be something to do with the display coding. I 
bet that I just can't see where the box is because it happens to be below the 
bottom of the screen. Is the print button on the bottom of the page?

I found the code for the print button, but I am not real sure how to maybe 
change it to variable height (for the green box where the checkout items are 
listed). I did change the display preferences to 1280x1024. 

Thanks again for working with all of us who want so badly to make it work.

The print button may be offscreen. You can zoom out your browser on the 
checkout screen and see the buttons but eventually you should adjust the css 
file to suit your screen (there are notes in the css telling you what values 
need adjusted for this). Let me know if you get it working.

Hi, just wanted to add a comment for distorcao, - if you want e-mail receipts 
you can use a google account (you would just need the smtp server 
(smtp.gmail.com), and password and e-mail and that should work)

Also, I agree about your comment, Eric is diong some great work with this 
program I will also be rolling it out soon!
