php - Can print web page using POS/Receipt printer? -
i have intranet web page consist of text (no images). need print page using receipt\pos printer print it.
is possible or not?
thanks
sure. 2 simple ways it, depending on how interference you're willing accept in interface.
firstly, can use javascript trigger receipt page/iframe print. option little klunky, requires cashier confirm print in system dialogue.
but secondly, have option of sharing each station's printer on network. server-side component can print directly it. , if it's *nix server, it's pretty easy once each station's printer has added / shared server. in php (with cups installed, imagine):
// attempt pipe 'lp -d printername' if (`echo "{$text}" | lp -d {$printer_name}`) { // print successful return true; } else { // print failed return false; }
if you're running windows server, it's more complicated.
