Printer linked to your local desktop

This solution, available by default, will use the standard "Print" feature of your browser.

If you can print from your local computer (from your browser) on your printer, you should be able to print TakePos receipts with no need of special setup. TakePos will open the receipt in a popup on your browser as well as the print option of your browser will also open so all you have to do will be to click on the Print button.
