Works with the printer you can buy today.
PufferPOS runs on the phones, tablets and PCs you already own. For receipts, plug in a common thermal printer like an Xprinter and print 58 mm or 80 mm receipts in a tap.
- Any thermal receipt printer with a working driver on the device prints from PufferPOS.
- Receipts come in 80 mm, 58 mm or standard A4. Each device remembers its paper size.
- Tested with Xprinter printers on Windows. Receipts print Arabic and English item names.
- Orders can be taken on any device; printing runs from the PC the printer is installed on.

Questions about hardware
Do I have to buy hardware from you?
No. Buy any of these printers from any shop in Egypt. PufferPOS uses the computer’s normal printing, so there is nothing to pair inside the app.
Will my existing printer work?
If it can print a Windows test page, it can print PufferPOS receipts. Most 58 mm and 80 mm thermal printers sold in Egypt work.
58 mm or 80 mm?
Choose 80 mm if you can: receipts are easier to read and most models cut the paper automatically. 58 mm suits small takeaway counters.
Can I print from an iPad or phone?
iPhone and iPad print only to AirPrint printers, which these models are not. Android printing is still being tested. For now, keep a Windows PC or laptop at the counter for printing; phones and tablets can still take orders.
What about the cash drawer?
A cash drawer plugs into the printer’s drawer port (RJ11). Set the printer driver to open the drawer when a receipt prints.
