by vinod mishra 09 Dec '17

09 Dec '17

Dear All I noticed due to recent upgrade of Firefox (57.0) Add-on “JSPrintSetup” as sated at Koha wiki <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Setting_up_slip_printer_to_print_silen…> is not working because of some compatibility related issues. Hence you may once try the instruction given at another link of Koha wiki. <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Configure_Automatic_Receipt_Printing> I have followed the above second option/link and found its working fine and accordingly made one manual <http://mishravk.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/koha-printer-setup.pdf> with screenshot for more clarity and ease. The manual is available at : http://mishravk.com/2017/12/koha-print-slip/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
