I’m happy to say I have just released a printer extension for TastyIgniter to the market place. https://tastyigniter.com/marketplace/item/thoughtco-printer It supports USB (ESC/POS), IP/Network Printing (ESC/POS) and printing through the Epson ePOS network web service. You can add multiple printers per location, format the docket per printer, and can limit what is printed to each device by category selection. A huge thanks to those who helped beta test this extension - your feedback was really valuable and I appreciate all your time. If you have any questions about the extension, check through the readme, but if that doesn’t help add your questions here or message me on slack ( https://tastyigniter.slack.com/team/U013ENYFQLR ) and I’ll do my best to help.

Hey, I just paid for the extension. It still doesn’t show up on my admin panel. How does this exactly work ?

raj I’m not sure of the inner workings of the marketplace, but @sampoyigi replied to a similar comment here: https://forum.tastyigniter.com/d/1929-how-the-heck-do-you-install-an-extension/3

The caching issue was fixed in v3.0.4-beta.22 so the item will appear in the admin dashboard after purchase if you are using the latest version.

Wow this is awesome! Will probably buy this in the next few weeks.

I couldn’t do the settings, can you take a video of installation and setup please,

@bima the settings very much depend on your local printer setup, so a video would not be universal. Feel free to reach out to me on Slack and I will guide you as best I can.

Thanks, when I click on the print button, a new page opens. (1/1) ErrorException Array to string conversion in StringParser.php line 59 this error page opens

@bima if you apply the fix in this commit, that should go away: https://github.com/tastyigniter/flame/pull/11/commits/820e7cee3599d9096596397beff8db8843feeeb5

Thanks, the problem has been fixed, but the order total information is missing in the order receipt.

bima as in the info is blank or the variable remains in the print out? Might be easier to reach out on slack and we can debug.

ESC/POS Printing

urbanbor sounds like your connection set up is wrong then. TI settings should point to the proxy app ports, which then points to the printer. Your print out indicates TI is trying to connect to the printer direct.

urbanbor

ryanmitchell Thank you Ryan, I had printer IP set up to 192.168.0.1 and both the listening port and printer port to 9100.

kyo

ryanmitchell Duh. Should have thought of that. Just checked and I see a:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
https://192.168.29.12:8043/socket.io/1/?t=1624104681619

Just looked through settings in the webui of the printer to see if there are any eprint settings that could cause this, but nothing looks out of the ordinary (to me). except maybe networks settings in the advanceed settings part of the TM-m30 printer:
energy efficient ethernet: enabled
standby mode: enabled

ryanmitchell

kyo so you’re using the epson connection method? The socket.io message is due to the library epson provide - you can ignore it.

I would need to know more about your set up and steps you have taken so far to help. It’s probably easier/quicker on discord and also during the week - weekends are family time 🙂

kyo

ryanmitchell ok. thanks so far. i will get on discord on monday or tuesday. family first. thanks so far

ryanmitchell

Just a heads up that we updated the licensing model on the printer extension a couple of weeks ago - it will now be an annual purchase of $75/yr. If you’d already purchased at the old price we’ve given you free upgrades to v3.0.1, which provides you with the Printer facade and integrates with the Dine-in extension, but to receive any further versions/upgrades you would need to pay the annual price.

urbanbor

I have no ideo of why printer doesn’t want to connect. The other day it started printing like there is no tomorrow but now it doesn’t even connect and I am using TI printer proxy which points to printer ip.

ryanmitchell

urbanbor Feel free to reach out on discord. Your JS console should provide some errors, but its likely your settings are incorrect (printer IP changed maybe?)

urbanbor

ryanmitchell I was not aware of that it changed, but only that makes sense or possible could a router update do any harm? Ill try to reach on discord. Thank you!

urbanbor

ryanmitchell

You have an unsupported character in your docket. Did you make a change to it?

urbanbor

ryanmitchell Ryan excuse me for asking but are unsupported characters like for example: č ž š and so on? Regards, Urban

urbanbor

Thank you Rya for fastest reply! Last time after I connected it with TI proxy it started continuously printing out orders. This time however I was pinging my printer and sometimes it was online but it was dropping so possible network problem also cuz it didn’t let me connect it was just saying idle. I know I changed the text encoding a while back tho way before it got me to connect it.

urbanbor

ryanmitchell

That has nothing to do with the printer extansion

ryanmitchell

It depends on the codepage and character set you select in the printer settings. You need to choose a codepage with the characters you want and ensure that matches the character set too

ryanmitchell

xujiongze
