Server-side code mixing 2 data streams into single channel may be a

OTOH we've all experienced misconfigurations where printer jobs
go to the wrong printer. What's the cost of the wrong till-receipt
printer opening an unattended cash drawer? There are some benefits
that come with localising connections.
Just to be clear, I do not suggest to statically configure all POS
printers on the server. SSH session may handle multiple data streams, so
it should be possible to associate UI terminal stream and
printer/scanner links when a client connects to the server.
