Receipt printing on Star TSP100

Here are some more details of my configuration.
I'm using a Drupal site on Ubuntu.
My client is a Windows 7 (64-bit) with Firefox 3.6.12.

I connected a Ticket printer Star TSP 143 ECO using USB.

I would like to print receipts and cut the paper when the last line of the receipt is printed.

I played a little bit with following settings.

1) Emulation mode in configuration utility.
Modus Star Line (standaard)
Modus ESC/POS
-> Modus ESC/POS Seams to be the best for the moment.

2) Paper size in printer settings (on different configuration pages of printer setttings and in Firefox...)
When setting A4 -> A4 is used correctly and paper is cut correctly but this paper size is useless for receipts.
When setting 72 mm x Receipt, print layout is better but paper is not cut.
(this is a bit annoying as the printer continues until out of paper :))
When setting 72 mm x 200 mm cuts the page after 20 cm but this is to long for a normal receipt.

There seams to be a special font "Control" to send control characters to be printer, maybe this is useful to cut the paper right at the end of the receipt ?

Managed to get it working on Firefox 3.6.12 (not on IE8 yet) on Windows 7.

Here's a short description of actions done to get it working :
1) Install printer drivers using CD delivered with ticket printer
2) Connect printer to USB.
3) Set printer driver settings to “72 mm x Receipt”.
4) Set Firefox settings to use full page width
File->Page Setup
Margins to “0”
Headers and footers to blank.
5) Customize print header – footer of receipt by going to drupal site : webshop->settings->uberpos.
6) Customize /sites/all/modules/uberpos/theme/uberpos-print-receipt.tpl.php if needed.
7) Adapt Local.Css to set pagesize + cut paper at the end of ticket automatically (without these settings paper is not cut after last printed line)
Maybe theses settings can still be optimized but with these settings it doesn't matter very much what page settings are used as all receipt layout is formatted 72 mm wide.

Content of local.css
-------------------
/* Change layout of ticket printer for receipts */
#receipt {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-body {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-header {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-screen {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

.uberpos-line-item {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#uberpos-total .receipt, #uberpos-paid .receipt, #uberpos-due .receipt {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-screen {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-order-id {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

#receipt-footer {
width: 72mm; margin: 0; float: none;
}

In addition to the above information, we customized /sites/all/modules/uberpos/theme/uberpos-print-receipt.tpl.php as below.

/**
 * @file
 * Default UberPOS module receipt template
 *
 * Available variables:
 * - $output: Contains the formatted receipt header and footer set in the
 * UberPOS settings, the formatted current time and date, the cashier's
 * username, line items, order id formatted to a barcode image which contains
 * the text '[order id]OR' (only if barcode module is installed). Lastly,
 * $output['screen'] contains a table of the order's products and prices for
 * easy output.
 * - $order: This is the ubercart order. Products are in $order->products.
 *
 * Special note:
 * Anything between a <div class="receipt"> </div> will be printed  on a
 * receipt. If you'd like to print multiple receipts for some reason, include
 * multiple div's with the "receipt" class. Nothing outside of one of these
 * div's will appear on the receipt.
 */

/* TEXT OUTSIDE OF 'receipt' CLASS WILL NOT APPEAR IN RECEIPT */

  print '<div id="receipt-header">'. $output['receipt_header'] .'</div>';
  /*print '<div id="receipt-date">'. $output['date'] .'</div>';*/
  print '<div id="receipt-screen">'. $output['screen'] .'</div>';
  if (isset($output['line_items'])) {
    foreach ($output['line_items'] as $line_item) {
      print '<div class="uberpos-line-item"><h3>'. $line_item['title'] .': '. $line_item['amount'] .'</h3></div>';
    }
  }
  if (isset($order->data['cc_txns']['references'])) {
    foreach ($order->data['cc_txns']['references'] as $txn) {
      print 'Card #: XXXX XXXX XXXX ' . $txn['card'];
    }
  }

  /*print '<div id="receipt-order-id">'. t('Order ID: @order', array('@order' => $order->order_id)) .'</div>';*/
  if (isset($output['receipt_barcode'])) {
    print '<div id="receipt-barcode">'. $output['receipt_barcode'] .'</div>';
  }
  print '<div id="receipt-footer">'. $output['receipt_footer'] .'</div>';

If more info needed, just let me know,
