@Mr Zane:

You are experiencing two separate issues, but I'll try my best to track them 
here.

===============
IMAGE PRINTING:
===============

The first in regards to printing images, the short answer is jZebra only passes 
your commands to the printer, it does not do advanced image handling.  It would 
help to know the language you are using (ZPL/ZPLII, etc).

This behavior is planned to change with jZebra 1.2.0.  So the longer answer is, 
I'm working on ZPLII support for printing images, which should take a PNG and 
transpose it to ZPLII commands.  This may be worth waiting for if you are using 
a ZPLII capable printer.

=================
KHMER CHARACTERS:
=================

The second issue is likely a duplicate of Issue 24.  
http://code.google.com/p/jzebra/issues/detail?id=24

Because of the nature of character encoding in Java, We're having difficulties 
printing UTF8/Cp1252 characters on different platforms.  I would like to work 
directly with you on this and reproduce the problem on the same platform.  A 
sample print page would be helpful for me on this.  Please provide a link via 
this bug report or email (tres.finocchiaro@gmail.com).  Also, I would like to 
know what platform you are using (Ubuntu/Windows, etc).

@Mr Zane:  Thank you.  Can you provide a link via bug report or via email?  If 
I can load a sample of the page you are using, I can use the same client 
version and try to reproduce the Khmer character issue from my end.

Two more things:  Do you have a windows workstation to try this on also?  
Lastly, can you provide a screenshot of the desired output?

The KHMER characters should be fixed with Bug 28 fixed.  I'll leave this open 
until better image support for Epson printers is included in the code.

For special characters, please contact mailing list for usage instructions 
until the wiki has been updated to reflect changes.

Experimental image support added in 1.2.2 for ZPLII and ESCP.  Please test and 
verify!

Can anyone confirm whether or not image support is working?  khmer are working 
fine, so I'd like to close out this bug if possible.

Currently rewriting the appendImage("image.png", "ESCP") feature using ESC * 
with image slices.  It's partially working.

I need to build an application that monitor the avalability of the printer... 
The printer is an Epson TM-T88V... Dou you guys have something I could explore?
I've already seen the jpos site, but it isn't updated since 2006.
Thanks.

@fco.coma,

This is probably the wrong place to ask this question, but you should have some 
success with Java if you use sockets (two-way communication).

Network sockets are available natively and serial/COM port sockets are 
available via 3rd party project called JSSC.  USB is much more difficult as it 
requires HID support, which is not natively supported and does not have a good 
3rd party utility available for most platforms.

If you are looking to build an applet, I would strongly recommend you work with 
us here at the qz-print (formerly jzebra) project, as what you're looking for 
is in high demand and I'd be willing to contract you for some work.
