A small Android bridge that removes repeat confirmation steps from receipt printing.

01 / The context

What needed to change

Printing a receipt from a POS web application required repeated browser confirmations and extra printing applications.

Working within real constraints

The bridge was designed for the specific Android and thermal-printer workflow used by the POS, rather than as a universal printing service.

02 / The work

What I built

  • Connected POS print buttons to an Android scheme URI.
  • Built an application that receives the request and sends it to a thermal printer.
  • Added optional manual printing through a simple input screen.

03 / Delivered capabilities

What the system enables

  • Printing can start directly from the POS workflow.
  • The application exits after printing to reduce extra interaction.
  • Staff have a manual printing fallback when needed.

Tools & technologies

  • Android
  • ESC/POS
  • Web-to-app integration
Technical implementation

Built an Android application using an ESC/POS thermal printing library and URI-based integration with the web POS.
