Ask HN: searching for mobile wireless POS printer

3 pointsby sevenalmost 15 years ago
Dear HN-crowd,<p>I am in need for 'mobile wireless printing devices' that can be programmed to be integrated into our wireless hotspot network.<p>Please let me explain, how I would like to use it. Then I will explain some technical needs.<p>Goal: Salesmen, using the mobile device to sell access credentials. Those salesmen have to be accountable.<p>The ideal solution would have only 3 buttons. '+' and '-' to select an service id from a list of predefined services. 'Enter' to confirm a service and print out a receipt including access credentials for our hotspot system.<p>On a more technical level, I would like to store some key-value pairs on the device to identify the salesman and available services.<p>When the 'Enter' button gets pushed, I would like the device to send out a (ssl encrypted) web request to our billing system. Depending on the answer (error+message/success+password), the device should print the receipt.<p>I hope my explanation makes sense and is somehow understandable.<p>I would be very happy if you could direct me to a vendor that could help me on this issue.<p>In case it helps: we are in need of several hundred devices.<p>Thank you for your time.<p>(you will find my email address in my profile)<p>btw: IPhone + printer + duct tape is not really an option. But I am open for other creative approaches. :)

Do you need to take actual credit cards and swipe them? Or is it just cash?
