Linux support for USB Cash Drawers

[South Coast Software]

Hi all

Thank you to the Wine team for a great product. Our project is 99% done, one last problem.

We use USB Cash Drawers (not connected to a receipt printer) and for these Posiflex Cash Drawers there is an existing Windows driver, USBCR.dll.

Any idea how we would overcome this problem? Linux does identify the cash drawers, but there is no supplier Linux driver.

From what I've read on the internet, that dll should be included with the program. Did you run an installer to load the program(s) to wine? If so, see if usbcr.dll is in the wine prefix. If so, you may need to register it, I believe using regsrv32. If not, look on the disk the software came on and see if usbcr.dll is on that disk. If so, copy it to the prefix - you may need to register it as well. The destination would probably be windows/system32.

Have you had any luck with this? If you plug one of the USB cash registers in does linux itself mount it?
