What is AnyPrint?
AnyPrint is a free Windows desktop application that connects browser-based POS systems to USB thermal receipt printers. It solves the one problem every web-based point of sale hits: browsers cannot talk to USB printers directly (by security design), so a web POS needs a native bridge on the machine to deliver receipts to the hardware. AnyPrint is that bridge — install it once, pair it with your POS, and receipts print instantly, silently, with full ESC/POS support, from then on.
How it works
AnyPrint runs quietly on the checkout machine and exposes a secure local API on localhost. Your browser-based POS sends each receipt to that local endpoint — ordinary, sandbox-legal web traffic — and AnyPrint writes the raw ESC/POS bytes to the connected USB printer: text, formatting, barcodes and QR codes, paper cuts, cash-drawer pulses. Printing is silent (no dialogs), local (the job never touches the internet), and fast (milliseconds, not round trips). Pairing is explicit — you authorize your POS once at the machine — and the bridge accepts jobs only from that paired origin. It stores no receipts, requires no account, and updates itself automatically.
What it works with
- Printers — any ESC/POS-compatible USB thermal printer, which in practice means nearly every receipt printer sold; the docs include a tested-compatibility list.
- POS systems — DAXTOP’s platform natively, and any browser-based POS through the documented local API; the integration is a localhost HTTP call.
- Windows — the supported desktop platform, matching where checkout machines overwhelmingly run.
Who builds it, and why it’s free
AnyPrint is built and operated by DAXTOP, the business management technology company whose main platform — POS, inventory, supply chain, financial and human capital management for retail, restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, dental clinics, and logistics — lives at daxtop.com. DAXTOP’s own POS is browser-based, so DAXTOP needed the browser-to-printer wall solved properly for its customers; AnyPrint is that solution, released free for everyone rather than locked to one platform. There is no premium tier and no data harvesting behind the price: the app prints receipts locally and that is the whole business model — it makes the DAXTOP ecosystem work, and it happens to make every other web POS work too. Downloads and documentation are on this site; the wider platform is at daxtop.com.
What AnyPrint is not
- Not a printer driver — it talks to the USB device directly with raw ESC/POS, which is why generic printers work without driver-quality roulette.
- Not a cloud service — no account, no server relay, no receipt ever leaves the machine.
- Not locked to DAXTOP — any browser-based POS integrates through the documented local API, and unpairing one POS never breaks another.
- Not a document print manager — it prints receipts and tickets, deliberately; office printing stays with Windows.
