This is a fun trick. We use the PI as print-server for our POS -- cause it can also handle all kinds of crazy receipt printers -- for example, have to complile the filters and stuff for the Star TSC-100 series (and sometimes for Dymo, or obscure Brother label/receipt). But then the PI works to print from Apple, Android, Chromebook, Windows -- desktop, tablet, phoen -- like whatever hardware the store already has -- PI is super amazing for getting a reasonable system (ie: Debian) in a cheap way when the client already has a mixed variety pack of hardware. And we can VPN to the mothership (us) using Wireguard -- Thanks PI!! Thanks Jason!!
