What is

Does AnyPrint support LAN (network) printers?

Not currently. AnyPrint is deliberately USB-only: network (LAN/Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth printers are not supported in the current release. That is a design choice, not an oversight — the USB path has no network stack to misconfigure, no IP addresses to maintain, and nothing to drop mid-shift, which is what a checkout counter needs most.

The practical pattern for larger venues is one bridge per station: each till or kitchen station runs AnyPrint with its own USB printer. Kitchen routing in DAXTOP decides which station an order fires to, so multi-printer restaurants work without any networked printers.

If you already own a LAN printer

Most network-capable thermal printers also have a USB port — connect it over USB and it works like any other ESC/POS printer. Check your model against the tested list at anyprint.app/docs/printer-compatibility.

Planning a multi-station venue

Count the places where paper must physically appear — front counter, bar, hot line, expo — and give each its own inexpensive USB printer driven by the PC or terminal at that station. DAXTOP's routing decides which orders fire where, so the "network" lives in the platform layer, where it is observable and configurable, instead of in printer firmware.

This pattern is also cheaper than it sounds: USB ESC/POS printers cost meaningfully less than their networked variants, and the stations usually already have a device running the register or the kitchen screen.
