*Re: the long slips, usually the culprit there is that you need to turn off the headers and footers on the firefox prints* *In Firefox:* Under File → Page Setup: - Shrink to fit page on Format & Options tab - 0,0,0,0 for Margins on Margins & Header/Footer Tab. This makes the receipts use all available space on the paper roll. - Set all Headers/Footers to –blank–. This removes all of the gunk you might normally find on a print from firefox, such as the URL, number of pages, etc. - Click OK Give this a go and see if your slip length improves.

First thing I would try is printing from notepad, once you get that behaving right (to the slip printers ... using the proper drivers) next thing would be opening a file in your browser and tweaking the settings for margins etc until that prints right.
Once you can print nicely from your browser the only thing you might want to do is add or remove some <p> tags in the slip templates so they print out right.

This is what I figured, but I also figured that other Koha users might have some insights to help Cathi.

Not really a koha issue I'm afraid Nicole. Koha doesn't print directly to the printer, the browser does it. It used to be able to print via cups or someother print queue, but its not doing that its simply the browser printing. If they were using linux I might be able to help, but it sounds like a windows printer driver issue and I'm no help there.

Hi all,
I got the following from the Arcadia library and I'm really stuck on how to help them. If anyone else has any suggestions can you share them with us all?
"We are able to print checkout slips/receipts on the 3 check out stations from IE only using the Generic/Text driver. We can't print from FF or Chrome on these stations using the Epson U200 driver. On the check-in station we can get the Epson T220 driver to work with FF for the hold slips/receipts, but

slips are too long and we aren't able to capture all of the holds consistently--not sure if that is a Koha or FF issue. The receipts are still form feeding twice the length of the receipt than we need or want. What are other libraries using as receipt printers / drivers? This is still an active issue for us. We would like there to be some consistency between the browsers in use on the 4 circ stations. What we have now is just a band aid of sorts because we needed to print something for the patrons."
