Receipt in POS vs backend

Francisco,

Yes, its surely possible to print a receipt of backend from frontend.

You just have to call the report action from js.

Thanks.

Thanks.
I try to find what action is called to make the report, by two ways:

1. I read the html code related to the Print receipt from the Backend, but the button has no action associated:

<code>
<button class="oe_button" type="button" style="">
        <img height="16" width="16" src="http://debxpc.dyndns.org:8069/web/static/src/img/icons/gtk-print.png">
        <span>Imprimir recibo</span>
    </button>
</code>

2. I try to catch the http request and I have found that the pdf with the receipt is generated with the request: http://domain:8069/web/report/ and some headers embedded. How can I build the request with this information?

Regards
Fran

You should call the action directly from the js.

The action should be an xmlrpc call.

Thanks.

Finally, I solve this by modify the CSS for the receipt, in 3 steps:

1. The font color for the receipt its gray, this cause distortion in thermal printers. Change the color in the CSS class:
.point-of-sale {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    background-color: #f0eeee;
    font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial;
    color: black; /* Fran */
    font-size: 12px;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

2. The receipt prints out of margins. Change the margins in the CSS class:
.point-of-sale .pos-sale-ticket {
    text-align: left;
    width: 250px;
    background-color: white;
    margin: 0px; /* Fran */
    padding: 0px; /* Fran */
    display: inline-block;
}

3. Format as you like. You can customize your ticket by modify both files involved on the receipt appearance:
$OPENERP_HOME/addons/point_of_sale/static/src/css/pos.css
$OPENERP_HOME/addons/point_of_sale/static/src/xml/pos.xml

I have included a logo, changed the font family to a condensed type (for large title products) and included a columns title bar.

I hope this helps others.
