Which thermal printer works with OrderPrint?
Almost any thermal receipt printer does. The ones that do not are easy to spot before you spend anything — and the setup runs a test print, so you will know inside five minutes.
The short answer: a thermal receipt printer that speaks ESC/POS, connected by Bluetooth or over your network, in 58mm or 80mm. Not a label printer.
Check these four things before you buy
Every printer that has ever failed to work did so for one of these reasons. All four are printed on the box or the listing, so you can check without owning the thing.
1. It must say ESC/POS
ESC/POS is the language OrderPrint speaks. Listings say “ESC/POS”, “ESC POS” or “Epson command set compatible”. If a printer only mentions its own app or a Windows driver, and never mentions ESC/POS, treat that as a no.
2. Bluetooth Classic, or network on port 9100
Bluetooth printers must be Bluetooth Classic (sometimes written SPP). A printer that is BLE only will pair with the phone and then refuse to print.
Network printers need plain TCP on port 9100 — the ordinary way receipt printers accept jobs. “Cloud printing” is a different thing and is not needed here.
3. Receipt paper, 58mm or 80mm
Both widths work. 80mm gives you a roomier ticket, 58mm is cheaper and smaller. Pick on counter space, not compatibility.
4. Not a label printer
This is the mistake that costs people money. Bluetooth label printers — the ones sold for shipping labels — do not work. They speak a different language entirely, and no setting will change that.
If the listing shows sticky labels rather than a paper roll, it is the wrong machine.
Printers we have actually run
This list is short on purpose. These are machines that have printed real orders, not models copied from a catalogue. It will grow as people tell us what they are running.
Novaro NOVPOS006
Network · 80mm — also sold as the NP-B58.
The printer in our demo video. Its own label lists ESC/POS support, which is exactly the thing to look for on any printer you are considering.
Andowl Q-P01
Bluetooth
The one we use day to day — and the same model every one of our restaurant clients has run for years on our other software. Of everything here, this is the one with the most hours behind it.
Voxtar HP58
Bluetooth
Tested and working.
Both 58mm and 80mm are represented here and both work. The width changes how roomy the ticket is, not whether it prints.
What does not work
- Bluetooth label printers. Confirmed by us, more than once. They are built for shipping labels and speak a different command language.
- BLE-only Bluetooth printers. They pair happily and never print.
- Printers that only work through their own app, or that need a Windows driver or a vendor SDK.
- Cloud printers that expect jobs from a subscription service. They may well work, but you are paying for something you do not need here.
- Ordinary office printers. A4 inkjets and lasers are not receipt printers and OrderPrint does not drive them.
You can find out in five minutes
You do not have to take our word for any of this. Setup ends with a test print, so a printer either produces a ticket in front of you or it does not — before service, not during it.
And the first 100 orders a month are free, so checking whether your existing printer works costs nothing at all. If you already own a thermal receipt printer, try it before you buy anything.
