Hi Kurt,
Not sure about auto connect. I only did this as a simple program.
I will have a look and see if there is an easy way to do it, although I made it so you could select your printer each time as it may not always be on the same USB port.

What Kurt said - I just got an Epson TM20iii and this app worked flawlessly!

It was ten times more work to get Windows to actually talk to the printer in the first place. :)

Many thanks to Alex!

No problems. I have been busy on other builds so have not had a chance to get to auto connect... It is still on my todo list...
There are some drivers for Windows 10 for some makes of printers. Some of them allow generic printers work.

I will try and put a link to the drivers I found on my dropbox soon.

Here is the dropbox link to the printer drivers that I found for thermal printers... It contains several drivers for different width printers.
