    STAR-ASIA TECHNOLOGY LTD. - Star TSP650 driver download

    There is a driver here, however it does not say if it is 64bit. If it does not work let us know and I will have another search for it for you.

    Thanks, but that is the one driver that was supplied with the printer, it is for a 32 bit system.

    Do you still have the manual for this printer?
    If so refer to page 6 which states;
    For instructions on Linux and windows vista 64bit refer to the software anual located in the "Linux" and "documents" folder on the CD-ROM.

    you need to run the applications in 32-bit, there is a compatibility mode, but I cant remember how to access it, so no help from me it might be in the control panel or right clicking the program. find it mate, you can go from there

    The applicaton runs fine on 64. Which it should since it's WOW64 and will run ( or is supposed to run 32 bit applications)

    The problem is that the printer is serial and the PC only has USB ports.
    So I had to use an adapter Serial to USB to get the printer attached.
    I can't use the software that came with the hardware because that's only going to work on 32 bit printers but I do have the 64 bit driver.

    I can print out with my HP printer from the application but not with the TSP650 which is a thermal receipt printer. So I think it has to do with the port. Some misconfiguration.
