POS Proxy Printing
Print from Odoo POS to unsupported & third-party printers — via a local proxy
Odoo POS preparation printing only drives ePOS / IoT Box
devices. Plain raw network thermal printers (JetDirect / TCP
9100) and many other third-party printers fail with the
"please ensure the IoT box is turned on" error. This module
routes POS prints through a lightweight local proxy that talks
raw ESC/POS over TCP and the OS spooler — so those
printers just work. No IoT Box. No ePOS firmware.
What it solves
Use the affordable thermal and network printers you already own with Odoo POS — kitchen, bar and receipt — without buying an IoT Box or ePOS-capable hardware.
Key Features
Prints to unsupported / 3rd-party printers
- Raw network ESC/POS over TCP (
IP:9100/ JetDirect) — no driver. - OS / system queues (Windows RAW via pywin32, Linux/macOS
lp). - No IoT Box, no ePOS firmware, no cloud dependency.
Kitchen / bar / receipt routing
- Route by product category to multiple printers.
- Optional priced customer receipt; kitchen tickets omit prices.
- Bypasses Odoo's native ePOS attempt, so no IoT popup.
Smart incremental printing
- Prints only newly added items / increased quantities.
- Per-order/per-printer state prevents duplicate tickets.
- Auto-print on change, or print on "Send".
Proxy dashboard & reliability
- Detect / map printers, send test prints, live history, reprint.
- Durable job log, per-printer serialization, automatic retries.
- Synchronous confirmation — quantities marked printed only on success.
What's included & how it works
1) The Odoo 19 POS module •
2) a single-file, standard-library Python print proxy you
run on the POS/print machine (via uv or python;
keep alive with PM2 or a Windows service).
Install the module → run the proxy → map printer aliases to
IP:9100 or OS queues in the dashboard → set the
Print Proxy URL in the POS settings. Full setup, routing and
troubleshooting instructions are included in the module's README.
Requires: Odoo 19 Point of Sale.
