Ubercart

I've been working on getting an Epson receipt printer working for use with printing invoices / order receipts output from the site itself. It's almost a point of sale system built into ubercart (if anyone wishes to see this code / hacks i'd be glad to post them). However, i'm having trouble (in the linux environment) to get the receipt printer to do what it was designed to do: print.

After joining the epson developer group and getting some SDK's from them, it pretty much seems as though the easiest thing for me to do is to send a redirect to the /dev/usb/lp0 and the receipt will pretty much just print. however taking this from the firefox browser and getting it over to the printer is what i'm having trouble with. This may be a post more suited for an epson forum, however they have simply directed me to JavaPOS http://javapos.com for methods and what have you for getting things printed. My interest would either be to build a device driver for the printer itself or a module for ubercart / drupal to act with some java to send the proper infos to the lp0.

i have attached here the complete redirect file that seeems to print beautifully using OpenbravoPOS / JavaPOS.

If anyone can come up with any suggestions or solutions already out there, please send them my way.

TIA
