Hi everyone,

I try to set up a POS for a small restaurant here in Bolivia. Everything seems to work fine but I can't properly set up the kitchen printer (an IP one, ESC/POS compatible). When I check /hw_proxy/status it only list USB devices but the printer is correctly installed and works with cups.

How can I set up a network printer in the POS?

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi,

In the Apps I see the App for the ECP/POS drivers install. Try installing that module and see where it gets you. I am currently installing it to see where it gets me. I'll let you know the results.

Regards,
Rodney

I may be wrong , but i checked the source code of hw_escpos.


I do not see support for IP Printers.


I'm afraid you need to hack the module.

Ex:

from .. escpos.printer import Usb, Network


and to return ip printer

    def get_escpos_printer(self):

self.set_status('connected','Connected to 192.168.1.200') 

net = NetworkCustom('192.168.1.200')

return net

 



Custom Escpos class to add close

class NetworkCustom(Network):

def close(self):

self.device.close()

return net
