Following is the instructions to print content on your Bluetooth Thermal Printer

from your own website using Bluetooth Print app


Bluetooth Print App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?
id=mate.bluetoothprint

You can print from your webpage (localhost or website) through any android browser.
It means that you just need to open your website from any android browser and
clinking a button on your website will send print command to Bluetooth print app
provided that you install small program into your web page
Instructions: - Enable Browser Print function in the app first
- Put following HTML link on your request webpage
<a href="my.bluetoothprint.scheme://<RESPONSEURL>">Print</a>
where <RESPONSEURL> is your response URL
e.g. <a href="my.bluetoothprint.scheme://http://www.mydomain.com/response.php?
id=45">Print</a>
The response page must have data to print in JSON format
Now when you open your webpage with any android browser and click on button click
me using above method, android browser will launch Bluetooth print app installed on
device which will then try to access response URL i.e.
http://www.mydomain.com/response.php?id=45 and it will print data as shown in JSON
Select any action from list below\n To download sample response file, click
Response button below

Note: If you are trying to access from localhost, make sure that you can access
localhost page in your browser. You can find several help tutorials for this.
Below are sample request file program and response file program. You need to open
request file in Chrome browser and on print button click, app will try to access
JSON content in response page and print that content.
