The library allows to print receipts using a ESC/POS (usually thermal) network printer.

[pub.dev page] | [Documentation]

It can be used in Flutter or Dart projects. In Flutter, both Android and iOS are supported.

To discover existing printers in your subnet, consider using ping_discover_network package. Note that most of ESC/POS printers by default listen on port 9100.

USB and Bluetooth printers support will be added later.

Features

• Connect to Wi-Fi printers
• Simple text printing using println method
• Tables printing using printRow method
• Text styling:
  • size, align, bold, reverse, underline, different fonts
• Paper cut (partial, full)
• Beeping (with different duration)
• Paper feed, reverse feed

Note: Your printer may not support some of presented features (especially for underline styles, partial/full paper cutting, reverse feed, ...).

Getting Started

import 'package:esc_pos_printer/esc_pos_printer.dart';

Printer.connect('192.168.0.123', port: 9100).then((printer) {
    printer.println('Normal text');
    printer.println('Bold text', styles: PosStyles(bold: true));
    printer.println('Reverse text', styles: PosStyles(reverse: true));
    printer.println('Underlined text',
        styles: PosStyles(underline: true), linesAfter: 1);
    printer.println('Align left', styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.left));
    printer.println('Align center',
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center));
    printer.println('Align right',
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.right), linesAfter: 1);
    
    printer.println('Text size 200%',
        styles: PosStyles(
          height: PosTextSize.size2,
          width: PosTextSize.size2,
        ));

    printer.cut();
    printer.disconnect();
  });

Print table:

printer.printRow([
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col3',
        width: 3,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col6',
        width: 6,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col3',
        width: 3,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
    ]);

TODO

• Add raw print function
• Print images
• Print barcodes
• Print QR codes
• Turn 90° clockwise rotation mode on/off
• Flutter example: print a demo receipt
• Flutter example: discover active Wi-Fi printers
• USB, Bluetooth printers support
• Add encoding commands
