elitevenkat Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 17, 2012 #1 Hi I am having an application running in a food court that prints invoice to a blue tooth printer. The client wants to change the printer hardware to one with a USB interface. The tablet is having a usb port. I had searched the forum to find some guidance to implement printing from tablet (os ICS) via the usb port to the usb printer. I was not able to find any helpful link / example code for the same. now my doubt is if is is possible to print to a usb printer directly from the tablet? can any one help me out ?

TheMightySwe Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 16, 2013 #5 You send Text strings to a POS printer, you dont need any driver. I have a TPG A799 POS printer, and on the PC i just send text-data direct to the printer, no driver involved. I'm going to experiment a bit with that this week. Regards, Jonas Upvote 0
