In rare cases, you might experience printing problems with your brand new POS printer. The most common problem is that your printer fails periodically. It will print several customer bills without problem but fails the next time. You might encounter the error below.
Couldn't print to this printer: Failed to copy file to printer
Does it mean that your printer went offline? Still printer is connected to power and power button is on.
In this blog post, we have included a simple solution for above problem.
First make sure USB connection is working without issues.
Then you can try disabling USB selective suspend in your PC.
To find the USB select suspend setting you must open up the control panel and browse to the following:
