JposRuntimeException: The specified station is unsupported

[JoergAldinger]

Hello all,

We have the following situation with a few Star (SP500) printers. We have set up jpos.xml and can test print simple text from CCO without problem.

However, all of the default templates fail with the following error:

com.sap.scco.hl.JposRuntimeException: This request is illegal because the specified station is unsupported

Any idea what may be the cause of this error?

Thanks and best regards,
