Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
Connect POS to thermal printer is possible without using PosBox using a posboxless, but on conditions:
- the pos machine should be a linux system
- thermal printer should be connected in usb port (only)
Can any one confirm this requisitions?
in my case, Odoo is installed in a cloud server and a POS machine run a windows system. And my thermal printer is connected to POS with a serial port.
- the pos machine should be a linux system : Not necessarly. We have working pos implementations on windows machines ( Win 7)
- thermal printer should be connected in usb port (only) : Both work fine . Only condition is to have pyserial , and pysub installed on system.
Hello @zahid, I have re tested and still don't get anything, the thermal printer is directly plugged in the POS which have Windows XP OS , the printer is working fine with other software, but not with Odoo, I have install all prerequisites (usb and serial) :( any help
1- check that you have hw_proxy and hw_escpos modules installed
2- check that it's working , for that in a browser type this adresse http://localhost:8069//hw_proxy/status , if all is ok you must have a web page displayed with your printer infos. this means that odoo can acess printer.
3 - in odoo pos configuration page , enable auto printing option.
it should work after this.
Try Takepos, a software Hardware Proxy for Odoo. Here you have a tutorial:

In my case, I have a industrial pos terminal with a Windows xp system. I have a Epson thermal printer connected directly. I have another software installed for pos and it works fine with Epson. I want to migrate to Odoo, so I had install Odoo in VPS (private cloud server), and I want to open Odoo from my pos industrial terminal., I had install pyserial and pyusb in a server. But till now, I can't print my receipt.
