feature suggestion: connect to/ expose API to print thermal receipts

[gregsadetsky]

for example, for Siggy Sketch, you could ... press a button? and get a print out of your sketch??????

[gregsadetsky]

................................................ maybe there could be a print scr button on the arcade to trigger this..........????????????????????????

OMG PRINT SCREEN BUTTON IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA

[gregsadetsky]

YOU ARE WELCOME

[gregsadetsky]

this was @sydneylefevre's idea, I am NOT taking credit for how good this is of an idea!!! 😤😤😤

[gregsadetsky]

you might want an API so that the app can send you what they actually want to print or....... that may be complicated and you could just everything

(but just in case an app wouldn't want its "chrome" to be printed - ie is it a "screenshot" or)

OR SORRY IM DUMB JUST USE THE PRINT MEDIA CSS THING :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

RIGHT????????????????????? right. print media css ->>>>> show the "real" thing you want printed.

that's it. solved. i'm smart. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There's a few ways we could go about this. I'm thinking plugin @rcade/thermal allows you to send ESC/POS commands to the """attached""" receipt printer - and it's up to you to come up with the right commands to send. Would love input.
