I have been looking for this for a long time and have not yet found a suitable solution.
Customization
I have a cloud system that allows a lot of things based on the sale of tickets, and creates PDF receipts for them. These PDF files are currently displayed and printed by users through a browser print dialog with various thermal printers.(endless rolls 80 mm wide). There is no problem with this. Here is the summary:
- Cloud based system for ticket sales, etc.
- PDF ticket, width 80 mm, the height of the set per page (docket can span two pages, only using part of the second).
- The system dialog box prints on a thermal printer installed with a page height of 200 mm.
- At the moment, I have no way to implement any printer SDK for this type of printing, since our application is cloudy
The next step
We had requests to enable this feature for iPads and other tablets or mobile devices. After learning this, iOS requires that printers that support AirPrint can now print to WiFi network printers, and Android requires Google Cloud Print. I moved from my initial annoyance to the fact that this process is much more complicated than using a laptop, and I'm not particularly worried about Android at the moment (the client uses iOS).
