How to create a PDF ESC/POS virtual printer to make some tests? Is the PosBox needed to print directly from POS?

Question

I need to send the tickets directly from the Point of Sale to an ESC/POS printer.
I was wondering if the only chance to print in a ESC/POS printer is to use the [PosBox](https://www.odoo.com/shop/product/pos-point-of-sale-posbox-312) to print tickets directly from Odoo or if there is another way.
> The PosBox is a little hardware box based on a Raspberry-Pi that will handle all the peripherals' drivers and setup in a very easy way
So my questions are:
How could I create a *Virtual ESC/POS Printe

Hello chesucr,
Here is an official documentation from Odoo to set up your PC/Laptop with a point of sale without POSBOX (posboxless). https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/point_of_sale/overview/setup.html#posboxless-guide-advanced
So, I think your Direct setup of Printer with PC makes your development requirement, still if you require to make a PDF of receipt you might need to create a mechanism where you need to convert the XML type receipt to PDF.

*What is there in the PosBox * image*:
