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

@bingobonzai are you on slack? Reach out there and we can set up a screenshare.

bingobonzai

ryanmitchell Thanks a ton for the support.
Just a recommendation for future update. If possible it may be good to have an option in the interface to unpair a printer that may have got paired by mistake.

For anyone planning to buy ESC-POS Extension, I highly recommend to go for it. Its Location specific setup is a great feature. Ryan is a great support..

bingobonzai

@ryanmitchell It may be helpful to define additional tokens to enable specific Text alignments ( Left, Center & Right) in lieu of default alignments.
Something like
<< for Left
>> for Right
^^ for Center

ryanmitchell

@bingobonzai thanks for the suggestions.
re: unpairing - as it can be done through browser settings I’m not altogether keen to add an interface element.

re: alignment - yes this is a good suggestion - I would be keen to follow markdown as much as possible to keep it familiar however there doesnt seem to be a consensus on this in different implementations. I’ll have a think about how to handle it.

@ryanmitchell Just to be sure If I want to setup 6 thermal printer each one printing only item from one category is it doable?

ryanmitchell

breaksecurity yes you can limit printing to categories and also set up multiple printers.

breaksecurity

Bought man. I will let you know if I will have any trouble 😉

breaksecurity

@ryanmitchell I am having some troubles command mode epson(esc/pos)-s is supported with EPSON ePOS network printer mode?

ryanmitchell

No idea what you mean by the question. If you detail out the issue on slack i can look into later

breaksecurity

@ryanmitchellI have a thermal printer and self test report command mode EPSON(ESC/POS)-S… Ip netmask and gateway. Which one should be the right way to use this printer in your extension?

ryanmitchell

If it’s an Ethernet printer you need to follow the instructions for that in the readme file. You’ll need to use the proxy app linked to in that document.

breaksecurity

If i wanna set multiple Ethernet printer I have to run multiple instance of the tool? How to set autoload on windows?

ryanmitchell

breaksecurity yes multiple instances or if you have epson printers multiple connections to the web service on the printer. Reach out on slack so we can chat about it.

breaksecurity

@ryanmitchell Auto print disrupt broadcast extension with refreshing pages too soon

ryanmitchell

I don’t use broadcast on our installs so never noticed it. If you can provide full details of the issue the I can look into it when i get some time.

breaksecurity

It says that the load failed due to page reload

breaksecurity

Also if I have to print subset of the order in different printers the sequent scenario verify:

PT 1 all status received->printed by 1
PT 2 pizza status printed by 1 -> printed by 2
PT 3 sushi status printed by 2 -> printed by 3

If I create an order with only sushi it print only general receipt and chain is broken…

breaksecurity

@ryanmitchell If I have an order with elements from all categories the chain go smoothly. Could be that you change status only if there is some item to print?
