Print to AirPrint printers from iPad apps!

[Sam_400º]

Good morning! 

Not sure when this update came out, but have seen (and tested) that you can now print order tickets/receipts to an AirPrint printer direct from the POS app,

Sure this is great news for a lot of people - for me it means I can print delivery order tickets to a 6x4 label printer for our delivery guys to see easily. 

@Twiggy - I think this is something you were looking for before?

Thanks so much for flagging this @Sam_400º!

It looks like this was just rolled out a while back, however, our team has only been able to test compatibility with the following printer models: StarTSP654II, Brother QL-1110 and StarTSP847II. If you notice anything not working as expected, definitely let me know and I can share it with the appropriate team.

I just did a couple of test prints to a 6x4 label printer @tranguyen and worked perfectly. The format looked right and had automatically adopted what looked like a 'fit to page'. Not sure how it deals with longer tickets/receipts with a static page size but just a great option to see added even if it's limited by printer specs.

Thanks @Sam_400º  I did notice this the other week and tried it out - sadly like tra said it didn’t like my HP printer.  I might try it later when it’s “awake”  

I have noticed a few little tweaks to layouts and square are definitely looking more at how the functionality works with printers / stations etc 

So much was rolled out so quickly 20-22 cos Covid   Restaurants has really blossomed. I’d like to see a little bit more tweaks here and there - like fun til laity to tap the postcode and a map open and linkage with Royal Mail !

Hey @Twiggy , stepping in for Tra here. 

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and your feedback. We'll make sure to pass it over to our team who will be glad to hear it. They'll definitely take your feedback into consideration too!

Yea  - didn't like HP Printer..... even when awake....  Hopefully this is step 1 

[tranguyen]

Glad to hear that! I've shared the above feedback with the team as well — they'll be delighted to hear this and will also be able to look into the question around printer specs as well.

Oh, in the Retail app on iOS I see the ability to Print packing slips. Not sure if it was always there or it is the feature @Sam_400º is referring to, but it is much appreciated. Now I kind of wish I didn't throw out my AirPrint printer. 🙄

I think it only works with certain makes of printer..... HP not one of them..... This is bringing back memories of printers/ cameras / scanners not compatibile with MAC circa 97 -07
