Hi @DanyallAslam - it looks like the image you tried uploading has a broken link. Can you try uploading again so we can see what's getting cut off? |

Hi @DanyallAslam - We don't have a dedicated Windows printer sample, but the OPOS printer sample shows the general setup for how to create the handler and what kinds of methods and requests need to be implemented. Windows printers will be similar, but actually have some benefits because you can call the native APIs directly rather than having to call our internal OPOS APIs that OPOS printers need to use. You should be able to use the OPOS sample as a starting point for the initial implementation, and can also reference the public .NET printer sample for developing your own Windows printer handler: |

Hi everyone, we have plans to migrate as many of the existing Retail SDK samples to the Commerce SDK as possible, but it will take time to get them all out. But since we've had more people chiming in on this thread and reaching out to CSS saying that they need this specific sample, we will be moving the Windows Printer sample up on our priority list. I'll be working with our HWS expert to get the sample updated and will update this post when we have something ready to share. |

@spotityza @DanyallAslam @hanhnguyen0288 Hi folks, it looks like the backport of the Windows printer sample was published today. You can find all of the HWS samples here, with instructions on how to set them up and test them. And the Windows printer sample code is here. The sample demonstrates how you can modify the receipt content and formatting by creating a new request handler that will intercept the print request, giving you access to the string content of the receipt to be printed. This content can be modified and then sent via a new request to the next request handler, which contains all of the core code that is responsible for actually printing the receipt. If you need to reformat your receipt so that it will fit on different sized printers, to add or remove content from specific receipt types, or change the layout of the text in the receipt, then this sample should provide a basic implementation that you can build your specific requirements on top of. The sample doesn't provide details on how to configure printer properties such as font size or margins due to design changes in what components of the printing model are extendible in Commerce SDK. After reviewing a lot of the business scenarios we've heard customers are trying to implement using Windows printer extensions, we've found that a lot of those scenarios are now supported through other extension capabilities, such as modifying receipt designs in HQ or modifying receipt text as the new sample demonstrates. If you have a business scenario that you're trying to implement and you don't think that the newly published sample shows you what you need, please let us know and provide details on what the actual scenario is and why you want to implement it. We will do our best to help find whether there is another way that you can accomplish that without requiring you to write a bunch of custom Windows printing code. We are also starting to collect requirements for what customers would want if we provided printer configuration options such as the ability to control font size or margins, so if you have requirements for things like that this is a good chance to raise them so that they can be included in future design conversations. We are also looking into providing a sample on how to create a receipt with a QR code in the future, so if you have requirements for that they should be addressed later down the road. |

Hi @DanyallAslam - we have not migrated the dual display samples to Commerce SDK yet. They are in our backlog and we are currently hoping to get them released as a part of 10.0.36 (release dates are not set in stone and may slip if other priority work comes up). |

Hi Matt,
We are looking for a WindowsPrinter device sample not an OPOSPrinter sample.
Thanks,
D

<https://github.com/hanhnguyen0288> - apologies for the slow response,
Luke and I had both been pulled into some other escalations recently.
The updated HWS samples should have been published a few weeks ago as a
part of the InStore samples:
Dynamics365Commerce.InStore/src/HardwareStationSamples
<https://github.com/microsoft/Dynamics365Commerce.InStore/tree/release/9.44/src/HardwareStationSamples>
There should be examples in those samples that provide details on how the
new workflow pattern works in Commerce SDK. From the original question on
this thread, the CustomOposDevicePrinter is probably a good starting point
to take a look at:
src/HardwareStationSamples/PeripheralCustomizations/Printer/CustomOposPrinterDevice.cs
<https://github.com/microsoft/Dynamics365Commerce.InStore/blob/release/9.44/src/HardwareStationSamples/PeripheralCustomizations/Printer/CustomOposPrinterDevice.cs>
If you have any questions about the samples or still aren't sure what to
do for your specific scenario, please let us know.
