You should be able to set a very low hopper limit. For ticket printer, you need a different set of game chips. The legacy 550 (the one that uses chips) needs a ticket printer set of chips to enable it. I have never personally setup a legacy 550 with any of the easily avaialble home tito systems. I believe they require SAS 3.0 which is not available to the best of my knowledge on any of the wms legacy software options. You could upgrade your 550 with a NXT board, then you can play most bluebird 1 titles excep those that require an animator button (extra bet/feature button).
