Hi there,

I understand the frustration – you want to use your existing cable-connected or network printer for both billing receipts and kitchen orders without needing an IoT Box or special IP setup.

Here are your options:

Option 1: Browser Printing (Built-in) For a simple setup where your receipt printer is directly connected to your POS device (via cable or local network), you can use Odoo's browser printing. This works, but you'll need to manually handle kitchen printing through the same printer or configure different print dialogs.

Option 2: Software-Based Printing Solution If you need dedicated kitchen printing alongside receipt printing without IoT Box hardware, there are software-based solutions that work with any standard printer.

We built Ultraprint specifically for this scenario – it's a software-based solution that eliminates hardware complexity. Key features:

• Works with any printer (cable-connected or network printers)
• No IoT Box or special IP configuration needed
• 5-minute setup
• Dedicated kitchen order printing with category-based routing
• All printing stays on your local network through your Odoo server (no third-party routing)
• 99.9% uptime guarantee

Pricing starts at $18.9/month for small setups (3 devices/printers included). There's a free demo if you want to test it with your existing printers: https://www.odooskillz.com/ask-for-a-demo-account

Full disclosure: I'm with Odoo Skillz. But genuinely, if you want to use your existing printers without IoT Box complexity, this is what we designed it for.

Can you tell me more about your setup? How many printers do you need to manage, and are you using desktop, tablet, or both for POS?

Hello  Mohd,

You can use Omni Print to handle this use case. Simply install the PC application to delegate the print job directly to a printer connected via cable.
