Hi,

Is the jsprintsetup support raw printing like thermal printers (eg. zebra, epson etc) ? if not, I would like to make a request for supporting RAW printing like thermal printers (eg. zebra, epson, etc) as this make help alot of people as we understand that firefox and others browser are not going to support NAPI soon. We do hope that jsprintsetup could also make it in alternative way like sdk etc to support what if NAPI not longer support in most of the browser.

Thank you.

Regards Gilbert

Hi,

jsPrintSetup doesn't support direct access to printers due using provided from FF interfaces. The extension is realized as XPCOM object (not as NPAPI) witten in native JavaScript. There are plans to migrate extension using Add-on SDK or as Webextension (less likely). Realizing RAW access to printers depends on what support SDK. At this moment I don't know to be possible. As alternative you can try using qz .

Hi,

It is still the best to be able for both raw printing or normal printing.

The jsPrintSetup is doing the best in printing and it will be added advantage if it support raw printing as well, so that we don't have to handle raw printing in other way.

Best of all, if it is in jsPrintSetup javascript, we don't have face any problems with java version upgrade, incompatible with new browser version, licensing of certificate it and update client workstation time to time.

Hope you could reconsider it.

Thank you.
