Hello - I need to print my responses on a pos printer so the food order can be printed in the kitchen on some sort of printer.

 

It is for an online food order via Typeform.

 

Will be on a seperate networks and connected through the cloud - please help!

Hi @nicko,

When I see your question and your usecase I imagine you want to be able to print this result on a thermal printer, so you can track the order in the kitchen, is that right?

Someone recently asked a similar question 

Unfortunately all printers are different so you might have to work on something very custom for the one you use.

If you had the model of the printer that could help :)

But in general I would say that you probably need to use webhooks to be notified on every new submission and then call the code to trigger the print.

Happy to look at this together if you have more details

Cheers

Hi @nicko Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the community. If you haven’t taken a peek already, I’d suggest looking at the options we have for exporting your results here. Are you looking to print each result individually?
