Probably more of a Windows issue, but hoping someone can help.
We are looking to move all our POS systems to View. However the POS software directly prints to COM1 and COM2. I have gotten the printers attached using a USB/Serial convertor and mapping them in to WindowsXP just fine with View 5.0. However when it maps they show up on COM3/COM4. I disabled the COM1/COM2 in the BIOS of the template and that seems to have gotten the "default" COM1/COM2 out of Windows, but when these auto connect they still show up on 3/4. I can't find anything in WinXP "using" COM1/2 and if go to the advanced properties of the COM port in device manager I can change it to be 1 or 2 and it prints ok.
So.. my question is, how can I get these USB->Serial convertors autoconnecting on COM1 and COM2 at login to a floating pool?
