Odoo Fake Printer

Here's a little script that will allow you to simulate an IOT and an Epson printer in Odoo.

This script allows you to create an image based on a ticket printed from the point_of_sale or pos_self_order module.

For the moment it doesn't contain all the functions of an IOT but only those I needed for my tests. Don't hesitate to open a PR if you want to add something.

Installation

1. Create a new Python environnement: python3 -m venv env

2. Activate the environnement: source env/bin/activate

3. Install all requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Don't forget to create the .env file at the root of the project. It must contain at least these 2 fields:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database
SAVEPATH=/home/{USER}/images/

5. Create an Odoo database with pos_iot installed.

Utilisation

Firstly you need to use socat or equivalent to forward the port 8070 to 80

• sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:80,fork TCP:localhost:8070

Launch the server:

• python main.py

Create a fake IOT on the server by calling http://127.0.0.1/create_iot_device

In Odoo you can use a so-called "direct" ePoS Printer. To use this feature you can simply enter 127.0.0.1 which will point to your service.
