Review on Thermal Receipt Printer Meihengtong Ethernet by Durioki Cordaro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great thermal printer but tricky TCP/IP setup

This is a near perfect thermal printer, but with a few minor imperfections to be aware of. You actually NEED the software from the website (or maybe it was on the disc) to set this up, so be sure to download it before doing anything else. I couldn't install this on Windows 10 without the software. My use case was to use this over a network cable, and To my surprise, this device never received a DHCP address because the device was set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.87, which conflicted with my existing network configuration. To solve this problem I downloaded the Milestone P80A driver zip file provided by one of the links here and it contained the MilestonePrinterTool program which is used to configure the printer for DHCP along with many other settings. Note that this program will not show you the current network settings, so do not be alarmed if nothing is set and instead refer to the sample printout that came with the printer as it will show the current configuration details. A couple of quirky things are the bezel. says Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and yes, no, this device doesn't have them. The manual also mentions setting them up first, which makes no sense. Prints great so no problems. One star off for guesswork on setup, but overall a good product!
