I use a thermal printer with TD. You will have to set it as your default printer. You may have some editing to do with your receipt template to make it fit properly. Also to note, if you are using TD version 2.5.12, the print dialog will open up on the extended display (if you are using one). To be sure, when the print dialog opens up, drag it to your desktop to confirm the thermal printer is actually selected. Once you confirm this, every other print job can be completed by a few "Enter"s.
With the beta version of TD (v2.6) there is an option where TD will simulate a "enter" keystroke for youand speed up the printing process (this can be found on the preferences tab>printing).
Also be sure to set the print settings through IE. Select Print in IE then select Page Layout and set your preferences there. I would suggest removing headers and footers.
I average over 700 players per week in my club and print a lot of receipts. Mahound, stuamarr, Corey and myself (and many others) are here to help you with all you need. Don't hesitate to post for anything. Hopefully you will soon be able to participate and help others here too
