  Hi, some background: I started to develop/plan a small inventory system (with a small point of sale system integrated) for my mothers small business. i am developing with C# - MS Visual Studio. for the pos part, to print the receipts, i decided to buy an epson tm-t88iv with an usb interface. what i had to find out is, that there are two ways (drivertypes/interfaces) to communicate with the printer. the EPSON APD (Advanced Printer Driver) and the EPSON OPOS for .NET Package. I tryed out both ways, with the sample programs.. now my question: which driver should i use for my software (epson says they can not coexistent on the same pc)? are you experienced with this printerfamily? whats your recommendation? and why is the recommended way better than the other one? thanks in advance!
