Chris Felesky Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello- I've been trying in vain to get my Sun Nuclear 1027 CRM to communicate with my Windows 8 laptop. I did read that above xp is not supported, but there MUST be a way, right? I would hate to have to buy theit $350 thermal printer for nothing!

John Kogel Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 New OS, old peripherals? In the past, waiting has worked for me. Someone will eventually program the driver you need to make it work. Alternately, install XP in your new laptop. I know a few people are still happy with XP.

Ben H Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Doesn't Win8 have a compatibly mode? The 1027's work fine with Win7. This makes it all happy, happy, happy. http://www.staples.com/Staples-USB-to-S ... uct_837560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubrooks Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 You might have to force the system manager to see a USB port as a real Hardware port like COM1 not a virtual port like COM9 and up . I had a problem with the 1028 connection and it ended up being the virtual port enumerator assigning COM ports numbers like 9 -15 to USB ports. The SunNuclear software was programmed to recognize ports numbers that high. When I assigned COM1 to the USB controller, it took care of the problem. It looks like the SunNuclear software has been upgraded since then because it now accepts COM9.Check with SunNuclear for available software upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Felesky Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks all- the COM port reassignment worked... in fact Sun Nuclear has a video on their site describing the process, I just never looked deeply enough. Had it all working for a day or two and my HP laptop now doesn't turn on! I'm sure they are not related, but what a pain in the ***. Arg.
