Questions and discussions about using the Shopify CLI and Shopify-built libraries.
Is there a way that an embedded POS app (using app-bridge) interact with a thermal printer (which has connected to Shopify POS)? My ideal is that my app can send some texts to the printer and the thermal printer will print them out.
Thanks!

Hi @tomchan
There is no API in POSSDK and App Bridge to support thermal printer right now. What embedded app can do is exporting receipt as pdf and merchant can print it manually.

Hi @Tom , does thermal printer use native print dialog (window.print) or it requires special API?

Hi Henry,
Do Shopify POS support this thermal printer?
TSP654II AirPrint™ Receipt Printer:
Hi @tomchan
It is not officially supported. We support `Star Micronics TSP650II Bluetooth wireless receipt printer` for sure. If `TSP654II` has same interface, you might be able to use it.
