Topic: FA printing shared printer win7, output Like .php or html or the paper

HI,
FrontAccounting latest 2.3.16, installed on ubuntu-server 12.04 ip=192.168.1.101
1- printer is shared with LPR/LPD service on some Win7 machine ip=192.168.1.148, I told to Frontaccounting that printer is on 192.168.1.148 port 515, because FA support lpd printer at the moment, When FA is printing invoice  Quotation or Reports, the prints is strnage, some garpage raw text or some .php or html coding,
the images can be checked here
2- Next I installed cups on my ubuntu-server machine and added that shared printer via cups to my ubuntu machine, Now I can send print from command prompt from the same ubuntu-server machine like  

 lp -d EPSON300 print.txt 
 lp -d EPSON300 Hi.pdf

and the print is normal text print
Now here i told to frontaccounting that printer is on localhost, Now if I am sending print from frontaccounting via browser,I am getting error on tail -f /var/log/cups/error.log

 +0300] Unable to encrypt connection from localhost - An unexpected TLS packet was received.

Re: FA printing shared printer win7, output Like .php or html or the paper

Probably your cups server is installed without lpd emulation, so you have to install cups-bsd package first. FA does not support cups protocol, only lpr/lpd. Also, you have to use some printing system like cups if your printer cannot print pdf files directly (probably this is the reason why your first approach failed).
