A comment in ML from Chris Liberty
My 2c on receipts...
As someone who was recently working on configuring receipts, I didn't find
it difficult. I did find that you have to read Receipt.java to discover
what fields are available for substitution, which is a documentation issue,
and not a usability issue. IMHO, listing the fields at the top of the file,
or putting something up on the wiki would work just fine.
Now, as far as features that I'd love to see customizable in receipt
printing:
1.) Color printing. Many (most?) modern thermal printers can print in
black and red. However, this feature, if implemented, should be able to be
turned off as printing in 2 color mode often slows down print speed by 100%,
even if you only print in one color.
2.) Logo / Graphic printing. JavaPos allows this, but I'm not sure my Star
Micronics drivers allow this, so I don't know if I can be any help on this
one.
3.) Font uploading. Standard fonts look pretty rough, IMHO. I believe
JavaPos allows uploading a new font to the printer.
4.) Printing of item level configuration. This would be another loop in
Receipt.java.
Item 1 should be easy and I plan on implementing it. Item 2 should be a
light effort, but not for me as I can't test. I have looked into item 3,
but as it was taking too long to figure out, it dropped in priority. I
haven't looked into item 4 yet.
