I didn’t post up the adjusted template. The one above was showing how it would produce in a browser, not the template. I made some changes for the last one. I just overwrote it. Let me see if I can put it back together easily.
Thank you very much. It’ll be really helpful for me. Appreciate it🙌🏻
The one with circles was html outside samba, didnt work in samba, preview with squares was in samba.
update decided to change our own ticket format to this style. Its much easier for customers to read. Might reduce the padding, but overall its better.
In setting this up, I noticed that bottom-border also doesn’t work. Had to use underscore for the single lines.

Document printer will give you greater control. I have been meaning to learn how to build a nice template with it but I do not have the time.
FYI, I did try Document Printer with throwing a bunch of commands on a print template. All I did was change my printer to Document Printer and it printed perfectly. So… you could have circles, but I think the boxes are just as good. Here is a pic, HTML printer on the left and Document Printer on the right.

Great Work!! 
This is awesome. Thank you once again!
Hi, I couldn’t insert the logo and icons. Can advise on this?
You can insert images into single lines by using <BMP>Image location
For inline icons I think <img src="location"> should work or you can use text/symbols. Start by getting your logo to print at the top and go from there.
My logo is loaded into the printer memory for increases the speed of the print. Logos really depend on how you set it up.
Yup I tried this bmp method but it’s only supporting for esc/pos printer type. I’m using html type.
Can you share your printer template? I’m pretty sure <BMP> works with HTML Printing as long as its on its own line.

Can you put ``` at the beginning and end of your template so it shows your printer template formatted.
BTW HTML img tag works fine within the formatted sections. You just have to get your icons to the size you want. See below:

<BMP> did work but it was showing the path of the image as well. Not sure why.

You really smashed that template, great work! I just might use it as some point. 
Hah thanks. I’m using it as well now too. Funny how things work out. I’m not using any icons and the boxes are slightly smaller. I do like how information on the ticket is presented horizontally versus vertical. I’ll post up my final template as well.
Final Version … for now

Hi sir. If I change the printer type to html , the receipt is printing but the cash drawer isn’t opening. But once I put back a basic receipt format and change the printer type to esc, the cash drawer is opening. Do we have any ways to settle this?
Create another printer in sambapos for esc/pos and a new print job and template for that. The drawer pop command requires esc/pos mode.
Thank you!! Will try it
