Local Printer Proxy: Streamlining Web Printing
Local Printer Proxy is a Chrome extension designed to facilitate seamless communication between web applications and the Bixolon Web Print SDK, specifically for environments utilizing Bixolon receipt printers. This tool addresses the limitations imposed by modern browser security policies, such as CORS and Mixed Content, which prevent HTTPS web pages from directly interfacing with localhost services. By acting as a proxy bridge, it enables efficient HTTP requests from web pages to the Bixolon SDK running on localhost (port 18080).
