<p>I followed <a href="https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=soft&amp;scat=61" rel="nofollow">this</a>/<a href="https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=single_soft&amp;cid=4747&amp;scat=61&amp;pcat=52" rel="nofollow">this</a> to Print Receipts in part of POS(Point of Sale) from EPSON Printer</p>

<p>I used Epson TM T20 Printer... So here I can print from Network and USB..
And Its working Fine...</p>

<p>This is my code :</p>

<pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener, ReceiveListener {

private Context mContext = null;
private EditText mEditTarget = null;
private Spinner mSpnSeries = null;
private Spinner mSpnLang = null;
private Printer  mPrinter = null;

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mContext = this;

    int[] target = {
        R.id.btnDiscovery,
        R.id.btnSampleReceipt,
   };

    for (int i = 0; i &lt; target.length; i++) {
        Button button = (Button)findViewById(target[i]);
        button.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    mSpnSeries = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spnModel);
    ArrayAdapter&lt;SpnModelsItem&gt; seriesAdapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;SpnModelsItem&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
    seriesAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    seriesAdapter.add(new SpnModelsItem(getString(R.string.printerseries_t20), Printer.TM_T20));
    mSpnSeries.setAdapter(seriesAdapter);
    mSpnSeries.setSelection(0);

    try {
        Log.setLogSettings(mContext, Log.PERIOD_TEMPORARY, Log.OUTPUT_STORAGE, null, 0, 1, Log.LOGLEVEL_LOW);
