The store I work severely needed an upgrade.
We have a sweet server system to handle a lot of data, including required internet software related to sending data to law enforcement, and transmission of data to the State Police and between other authorities. UNFORTUNATELY, we still relied on an older station that handled all of the transaction printer functions.... and *gasp* I think the printer cable was 25 years OLD!
And thus is why I said it 'needed' and upgrade... The old station was pretty honkin' old. How old? Windows freakin' XP !!! And it suffered a severe hard drive crash last night, only for me to discover this mess this morning! What a way to start the weekend!
It took all day to do full diagnosis, determine how to transfer printer operating to another PC, generate secure links to other stations, and configure each station for the new redirects.
