'''Limitation''': The printer must be reachable by your server. If your server is in the Cloud and your printer is a network IP printer, you can use a network gateway (IP or Port translation) to reach your IP printer from the Cloud, but if the printer is not a network printer or if you can't install a network gateway, you must use the last method (E).
 
Note: to test this method without having any printer, you can use the ESC/POS printer emulator here: https://github.com/dacduong/escpos-printer-simulator so you can launch a virtual printer on you local IP an port 9100.
