How to use POS printer in Django  

[Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.)]

ok a few zillion requirements

You need something that will generate a pdf file and then send it to a
printer / email etc

Basically Pillow libs needs to be installed to generate a pdf file

from there is is system dependant

if running linux / freebsd then i would write the pdf file into the /tmp
folder (make sure you set the rights of /tmp to 777)

next to be able to print you will need ghostscript / cups

cups needs the printer to be on your network (NOT USB Preferably)

USB Can be made to work but requires a whole wack of printer setup on
the stations.

also Report Lab (Pillow libs)

#PDF (Report Lab Stuff)
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter, A4
from reportlab.lib import colors
from reportlab.graphics.shapes import *
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Image

from reportlab.lib.colors import PCMYKColor, PCMYKColorSep, Color,
black, blue, red, orange


please understand that this is very rough approach

if you need more info a can send my django code if nessesary but is
tailered to my system

fyi





Happy Tuesday !!!
Thanks - paul
