A PHP library implementing a subset of Epson's ESC/POS protocol for thermal and impact receipt printers. It lets PHP applications generate and print receipts with formatting, cutting, and barcodes over many interfaces.

Use cases

print receipts from a PHP point-of-sale app
send barcodes to a thermal receipt printer
print to an Epson ESC/POS printer over ethernet or USB
add receipt printing to a web-based POS system
cut paper and format text on a receipt printer from PHP

When to choose

your PHP app needs to print receipts to an ESC/POS-compatible printer
you need support for many connection types like USB, serial, ethernet, or CUPS
you want a mature, widely used receipt printing library

When to avoid

your printer does not support the ESC/POS protocol
you need full-page or graphics-heavy document printing rather than receipts
you are not working in PHP
