AirPrint
SimpleSpa can print using AirPrint, we have tested various POS printers with success on iOS, we recommend that you always test any device prior to purchasing, to enable AirPrint on any legacy printer it needs to always be connected to a Mac running as a server, and then you will need to install third party software like handyPrint to enable AirPrint
