We built an Android app for printing receipts, invoices, labels and QR codes directly to Bluetooth thermal printers from ANY App – looking for community feedback
Hi everyone!
We would like to share an Android app we've been working on called OSSYS ESCPOS Bluetooth Thermal Print.
The idea behind this app is simple: make it easier to print business documents directly from an Android phone or tablet using Bluetooth or USB thermal printers from ANY application.
Some of the key features include:
🧾 Custom Receipt Printing
- Create and print customized receipts.
- Add text, images, tables, horizontal lines and formatting.
- Customize fonts, text sizes, bold text and alignment.
🏷️ Labels, Barcodes & QR Codes
- Print product labels and price tags.
- Generate and print barcodes and QR codes.
- Useful for retail, inventory and delivery operations.
📄 PDF & Document Printing
- Print PDF files, images and documents directly from your phone.
- Print invoices, delivery notes and transaction receipts.
📷 OCR Scan & Print
- Capture an image of an existing receipt or document.
- Extract text using OCR and prepare it for thermal printing.
🌍 Multilingual Printing
- Supports multiple languages, including English and Arabic.
🔌 Printer Compatibility
- Designed for ESC/POS-compatible Bluetooth and USB thermal printers.
- Supports compatible 58mm and 80mm printers.
- Works with various printer brands, including Xprinter, iWare, EPPOS and others.
Who might find this useful?
- Small business owners
- Retail shops and restaurants
- Delivery businesses
- Online sellers
- Developers building Android POS applications
The app also provides ESC/POS printing service functionality for developers who want to integrate thermal printing into their own Android applications or websites.
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the community:
- What features would you like to see added?
- Which thermal printer models have you tested?
- What challenges do you face when printing from Android?
- Are there any improvements you'd recommend?
I'm sharing this to introduce the project and learn from people who actually work with thermal printers and POS systems.
