Hi Robert

I too would love to know more about your progress. This is a great plugin but without the interface with a GRPS printer I could not use it commercially.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Already have bought a GPRS printer

in case any of you guys are still following this thread/topic (or anyone else for that matter that reads this)

i am trying to develop something that at least sends an sms to a gprs printer as well as some order notifications to a phone too (either being optional)

however, due to the fact that i haven’t got one of those printers and am no going to buy one as I personally have no need for it, it would be great if someone would be willing to be a bit of a guinea pig for testing some things (in return for a version of that plugin of course when it’s done)

it’s early days, and probably not – initially anyway – going to be a 2 way thing (i.e receive sms, enter time , send back sms etc. as that – from what i can see – depends on proprietary hardware)

for starters though the idea is to – at least – send any received orders to a gprs enabled printer directly plus an sms confirmation to some sms enabled phonenumber …..

there are a few caveats but i am happy to point these out if someone is prepared to initially “lend” me a printer so to speak i can send stuff to (i.e is prepared to waste some paper) to see and check how things print out to be able to make the necessary adjustments to get going on that project

cheers

Olly, how are things comming along with this?

Robert, can you share the code? (Did also sent you an e-mail)

Hi Olly

I got a reply from Robert.
We need a printer that works with http and basically does what Roberts solution does. Some back-end flow will still have to be change or extended even with that solution (i.e. transaction roll back as we talked about).

We have decided to go with your plugin since it has all the extensions we need.
We will do an initial roll out with eight restaurants within the next 5-6 weeks.
It is possible I can write you an e-mail or PM and explain our flow and requirements and we can see what you can help us with and what we will have to do our self (or with external help)?

Best regards,
Lars

I have bought a wifi/gprs/sms printer. It is the same model Robert had bought but I got the model that also has wifi. If you still need help testing I would be happy to do that for you. It would great to get a solution to get this thing working.
