Print order to a merchant's printer programmatically

Hi,

Is there any android / REST API to print an order to a merchant's printer programmatically?

I am currently using the android intent to land on the page where the order is displayed and print button is shown. However a merchant has to click on print to print the order to kitchen.

I want to programmatically automatically fire a print to the printer so that there is no manual intervention from a merchant. Please advise.

You cannot use the REST API to print, but you can use the clover-android-sdk.

Take a look at these examples in the clover-android-sdk:

They show you how to find printers and print to them.

Some of these classes are marked as deprecated. Is this still the correct approach?
