Hi, I experience a random printer disconnecting behaviour with my XPrinter. Printer connected using live server method via websockets in your software. When printer goes offline, I have to setup port configurations and printer settings again. Then it will work again.

I think that this has nothing to do with your software. This should be a hardware or driver issue? After some research, I found that PC power & sleep settings might cause such behaviour.

If this is just a printer specific thing, I can go to Epson printer.

I want your help here to decide what to do.

Thanks

    Hello,

    What software are you using as Live Print Server? If PPP, then there might be any error causing such behaviour. If NPPS (POS Print Server - Windows Installer) then the logs might be helpful to know the cause.

    Thank you

    I'm using PPP. In php console, it shows server connected and getting the invoice json properly.
    I mean there is no difference in the console output when printer is working or not working.

    Hello,

    PPP is deprecated and no more maintained. Some error might be triggering this, you can check your php error logs.

    Thank you
