Xprinter thermal receipt printer N160II 80mm

I am looking at this China made receipt printer, that is suitable for POS(Point of Sale) system use.

I have found their download location here : http://www.xprinter.net/index.php/Product/product_detail/id/97/cid2/21

80系列驱动80mm芯烨打印机所用驱动

The above is the driver for the 80mm series I assume

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also cannot find any Youtube video that talks about this printer (at least not in English)...

So I decided to write this post... and I'll expand more details as I discover them.

I found out that Windows 7, and the Gicater POS software doesn't play well with this printer, at least if the Receipt being printed is very long, and each line item is overly descriptive.  The two modes available (driver and compatibility mode) all have it's own challenges :
1. driver mode - prints everything till the end of the receipt, but each line item over runs and overprints on the price column

2. compatibility mode - the linefeed are controlled much better than (1), but if the receipt is too long, it doesnt print it all, and just cut the receipt. So a partial receipt is printed only.

I am suspecting maybe I need to install the driver.  So thats the next step.
