I have just been looking into this with the TM-88(III) printer.

I was checking up on how to create a wrapper for the driver.

I have done some work in the past for the Epson distributor in my country, a small BT Printing Demo. They told me they have no customers using Android at all in any Epos applications.


I have been asked to do a simple Cash Register for an Android Tablet (by a relative) so I was looking into using a TM-88(III) as the receipt printer (cheap and Reliable).

I am going to take a look at it, there are various command for each of the printers and I was only going to attempt doing it for the TM-88.

I will let you know how I get on with it.

Regards

BOB

Not yet!

I am in the process of working out a way to do a POS for a cinema that requires a mag stripe reader for credit cards and output to a POS printer

My current thinking is

1) to use a Bluetooth device with serial output

or

2) use network connected printers and my server will receive the request from the android devices and send the output to the printers

I have not worked out a satisfactory solution yet especially as I need the mag stripe reader

my tm-t70 usb is connected to the PC that is connected to the network.
smartphone communicates with the PC via wifi network.
Now to print from Android send a string of data to the PC and the software will print on tm-t70

I would like to find a way to print directly sharing the printer on a network
