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 Printer? I would like to use something similar to the Virtual PDF printer, in order to print the tickets to PDF and make some test while I am programming. Is that possible?

  • What is there in the PosBox image ("Raspberry Pi Image") to make it work everything out of the box?

  • If I have the ESC/POS printer correctly installed and connected to a computer with Windows System. The Odoo Server is accessed remotely from this computer. I have installed the module [hw_escpos](https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/8.0/hw_escpos/). Could this work or the use of the PosBox is mandatory?

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: POSBOX image contains the latest rasbian image with version 8.0 odoo setup containing pre-install modules whose name starts with " hw_* ". You can download image from here :  https://nightly.odoo.com/trunk/posbox/

Parth
