@Mr. Zantos

The sample commands that come bundled with jZebra are currently just for ZPLII 
capable printers, so they probably won't work out-of-the-box.

Your printer uses a format similar to ESC/P (Eltron) called "STAR Command 
Specification"

Here's a sample command reference for a Star model printer.
http://www.star-m.jp/eng/service/usermanual/linemode_cm_en.pdf

If you want to do a simple "Hello World" example, please email the mailing list 
and someone who's worked with a similar printer will likely be able to help you:

http://groups.google.com/group/jzebra-users

I'll leave this bug report open for a few weeks so you can find it.  I suggest 
putting in a feature request for the sample code to support more printers out 
of the box (I would expect you to help with this, since you're the first to 
post about this printer).

@Mr. Zantos:  Just to be clear, jZebra does work with your printer, you just 
need to supply the correct commands.  The demo uses commands that are 
incompatible.  You can replace these commands with known working commands.  I 
will be happy to help you do this via email.  tres.finocchiaro@gmail.com

Hi tres,
   Unfortunately we change the preferred thermal printer. We are now using epson TMT88v because they said that the model of the star printer is obsolete and worked fine, We can print now using the jzebra applet but we notice that it cant print images and khmer characters. can you help me in finding an answer to my problem? 

thanks!
