I have three Epson TM20II Ethernet printers
trying to print the kitchen orders without the posbox (it's not available in my country)
I've tried the TAKEPOS solution :

and many other stuff but nothing seems to work
does anybody has an idea on how to solve this?
I was thinking about emulating the POSBOX on a PC but again I have no idea how to do this ..
many thanks in advance everybody
Try following:
If you emulate a PC as POSBOX, make sure a printer(EPSON) attached to that
PC is able to take the printouts.
You need to have Odoo running on that PC with the modules of POS
installed in it and creating database in it. It should install
following POS modules in it hw_proxy,hw_escpos,hw_scanner. Refer to
the following link
https://doc.odoo.com/trunk/hw_proxy/#posboxless-setup-guide
Check the IP address of that PC and configure it under the kitchen
printers section where your original-(main) odoo system is up and running.
Note: Just a thought, setup of a this kind is not cost effective, if there are more than one kitchen/bar printers is to be setup, as you need to replace a POSBOX with PC at every place.

overflow community,
I need a help on virtual machine issue.
I was working on Oracle VM Virtual Box.it was all working fine.i save state and close it
After some days when i try to access it.
it restore it states but giving an error as i attached screenshot. and i m unable to access it.
how can i solve this error.what are possible reasons for this
Plz help as i have so much data and installations on this VM
Thanks in advance
Nisha
I think you should try to check the hdd of the vm.
Then if it does not work anyway, you should plug off/on your virtual machine without saving the session.I have read this on this VM thread that maybe can help you.
This error seems to happen when you have saved sessions and update your vbox software.

Right button on your virtual machine, Discard Saved State should fix the VM with no data loss
I need to send the tickets directly from the Point of Sale to an ESC/POS printer.
I was wondering if the only chance to print in a ESC/POS printer is to use the PosBox to print tickets directly from Odoo or if there is another way.
The PosBox is a little hardware box based on a Raspberry-Pi that will handle all the peripherals' drivers and setup in a very easy way
So my questions are:
How could I create a Virtual ESC/POS Printer? I would like to use something similar to the Virtual PDF printer, in order to print the tickets to PDF and make some test while I am programming. Is that possible?
What is there in the PosBox image ("Raspberry Pi Image") to make it work everything out of the box?
If I have the ESC/POS printer correctly installed and connected to a computer with Windows System. The Odoo Server is accessed remotely from this computer. I have installed the hw_escpos module. Could this work or the use of the PosBox is mandatory?
I am working with PosBox so as per me if you are managing odoo remotely and your printer is attched with some our system which is not direcly connected to you odoo server so in this case you need some extra device to bridge your harware(printer) and software(odoo). So here PosBox comes in picture. Or any other device if they can compatible with both system so it is also useful. In case of your answer:
1) If you are programming and you want to check printed ticket's PDF then you can do it via your xml template file. From that you can pass arguments under <report> tag.
2) In PosBox we need to insert an image i.e. OS image so that this device can work as your CPU of your system. In that image there are some h/w modules of odoo. i.e. hw_escpos, hw_proxy, hw_scale etc. kind of hardware modules are there. Also apart from this one odoo instance is running on from that device so you can manage all data from that link.
3) If all things are connected in a single system and odoo is working remotely then no need to you PosBox to print ticket. PosBox only helpful when your printer is attached remotely in any other place and odoo is working to any other system and after this you are accessing odoo to any 3rd system and you want to print ticket where printer is connected any else system so then and then only need to use of PosBox.
For a project I am working on I want to collect data of malware in a virtualbox for 30 seconds and then revert the VirtualBox back to its original state and repeat this process 500 times for 500 different malware links that I have in a txt file. Before I revert to the normal VirtualBox state, I want to collect data from a program that is monitoring that malware. What is the best way to do this?
Edit: I'd also like to point out that I have code to read the opcodes that are being used by the application. All I would like to do is automate this process for the virtualbox.
I am not aware of such a feature in virtualbox or vmware but you can always use third party tools to compare the state of the different parts (like registry) before and after the execution of malwares.
I heard Ashampoo unistaller is a great tool to do the job but personally never tested it before.
Another option is to use sanboxes like sandboxie or cuckoo sandbox to capture the changes.
Another option is to use online sandboxes like hybrid-analysis which is perfect for what you want to do.
Just keep in mind that most malwares use anti-VM techniques to prevent execution in VMs so you probably will not be able to capture all the features of the malwares.
Hope it helps.
What I want to be able to do is that, run a vmware machine on workstation, windows xp or 7 for instance. But all the changes I make while I am running the machine e.g. create a file, install something etc, I don't want them to be written to the system/image. Instead it should act like even the image itself is sandboxed, and when I shut down the machine, the image stays the same.
Now, I know about the snapshots functionality, but I basically want to save the time that is expended while reverting an image, on every power down session. Instead it should be such that the changes aren't written to the image/system in the first place (and instead are done in something like memory or a temporary location etc), and thus there is no need to revert when the system is powered off.
Now, is this possible to achieve with just vmware workstation itself? if not than is it possible with some third party tool or something of the sort? if yes then specifically which tool? or if this is possible utilizing any other concepts, say ramdisks etc or anything at all really?
Any help at all is really appreciated!
If I understand your you correctly, defining the VM's disks as nonpersistant should help.
I have a ReliOn Glucometer that can be connected to a Windows PC via USB. Glucometer Details Here. I have never tried this, but can someone point me in the right direction to go about connecting to a USB device (C# or Delphi) and pulling data from it? I want to download the current test result and save off to a database to build log of test history. I am a diabetic and I hate doing the tests everyday, but I realized if I can leverage this necessary evil with learning how to work with USB connected device, I at least can get some pleasure in knowing I made some good out of this.
Has anyone done this or something similar? I know there is a website I can join and they have an OCX to do this.. but I don't want to put my info/data on a site, plus it misses the point - I want the challenge of doing this.
Any advice - directions where to start would be greatly appreciated.
I would begin by looking at the USB device driver that comes with the software, especially the inf file. Is it HID or is it for a specific USB chipset, etc? Then look for a relevant development kit/info to take it from there.
