selyah,

I was in the middle of writing a reply and got distracted:   …….In my 
experience…….

Scenerio 1:  You have a NORMAL INKJET/LASER PRINTER?  Use CUPS/cupsd.  It is 
easy to configure and setup a simple method to send a document to a http or 
print spool over a network.  Just tunnel your document data that needs to be 
send to the printer via some type of tunnel @ port 631, and edit your 
cupsd.conf to let the authorized user that you create (probably not admin or 
root) to send that to the printer  spool.

Result: your receipt prints out.

also there should be docs at http://localhost:631/help, b) in 
/usr/share/doc/cups or within c) /etc/cups or on the project website.

Scenerio 2:  Your program/software is using a THERMAL PRINTER?  Access the 
device spec manual and figure out how to send the reciept data to the device 
and do so….

        (may include sdk, etc… or commonly (i'd venture to guess 90% of the 
time; over serial connection).
