Access client printers on the local network from the local server

OK, I found a solution. Thermal printers have four basic functions

1 - read data

2- print on paper

3- Decide the length of the paper to be output

4- Cut the paper after printing.

I tried using window.print() to do this because I couldn't find anything about "printing from local server to client printer using php".

Using Google Chrome, this is what happened

After clicking the print preview button, it showed me the data zoomed out to the point where it was barely visible. More specifically, the data looks like a thick black line, and the rest is a long white page that scrolls almost infinitely. The printer starts printing when the "Print" button is pressed and does not stop until the competing roll is complete. The header contains the actual data, while the rest of the entire larger length is blank.

Using internet explorer is even worse than google chrome because it keeps asking for a new roll to print more white blank pages even after the roll is done...

Then I met the champion. Firefox browser. When I click the "Print Preview" button, it shows me the exact size of the paper I'm going to put the data on...and the last thing I want is that Firefox calls the cut() thermal when it finishes printing the receipt The function of the printer is to cut the receipt so that it can be easily pulled out of it.

Then enter about:config in Firefox's search bar and search for "print". I was really surprised to see so many options for printing, it's more than I expected from a receipt printed from a browser page. I can literally template the receipt and save it. After that, whenever I print the receipt, it will be printed in that template.

Thanks for looking at my question. Hope this helps someone...
