I have netcomm wifi router iyt has ip printer to print tickets also can print from a web page(Account generator) Is anyone know how to print the webpage tickets in a simple button click or printed with receipt? here is my web account page
Without seeing code it’s hard to tell. Posibly with a post type link and a scrape type read but wouldn’t be ideal.
Is it purely for limiting use or do you offer paid tickets also?
@JTRTech Thank you for quick response , it would be better individual as some people settle bill after the meal in most time. please give a idea its a HS-960 wifi gateway netcomm. it has a account generator printer attached. here is some screen shots d
What happens on the no option on that seccond screenshot?
Do you know how it stores accounts/tickets?
Have you seen any reference to radius.
If I wanted I could do what your trying to do with my setup as user accounts are stored in a MySQL database which the gateway/router referee to for its captive portal accounts.
But don’t think these all in one router type setups if that’s what it is have to power to run a mySQL database etc for the authentication side and do all sorts of funky text file type lists for accounts.
i have a draytec vigor 8120?
Anything like this possible with that?
This would stop the neighbours draining my free wifi 
Its a nice box but dont think it has a captive portal option but pretty sure you can setup throttling.
@GreatShakesBar the simplest way on budget for captive portal is something a wrt box with chillispot or something like that, you still use the draytek but put the wrt box as the gateway for the wifi side of the network.
Or you can go full hog still without a big budget and install pfsense on an old pc with a second network port/card.

tried purple portal but found it expensive for my needs.
pfsense… ill have a read on that
Pfsence is a BSD based (Linux derivertive) firewall.
It’s very advanced and you typically run it on an old or sff PC.
It has many many advanced networking options.
I use it at the hotel as a multi lan router plus to power the captive portal for the public lan.
It’s opensource and free which is a big bonus but as usual makes it more complex to setup.
Another option you might look at is packet fence.
That’s a more refined equivilent which I think is developed by company rather than community based like pfsence.
It has all sorts of social auth options but found it bit over my head as think it’s more geared to enterprise level networks but is free also.
If you look at pfsence let me know.
There are limited tutorials for user self registration setup which is what many others are charging you for as pre created ticket systems are more obundent.
I have a working self registration setup with mailchip intergration for collecting email addresses for marketing.
I haven’t setup a samba based intergration for creating tickets but wouldn’t be hard to do if you use the radius option which can link to a MySQL database meaning easy script based intergration to create accounts or with a bit of development could soon make it a radius based ticket system using a shared user or password meaning only requiring one field for login.
Happy to share some of my custom php pages for the self registration if you need or have any questions. Fairly familier with pfsense as we have used in one way or another for a while now, origionally we just used for download tracking and throttling for live in staff abusing the hotel Internet but now we have fiber just set a overal public gateway bandwidth limit of half the available bandwidth and per divice limits of half that again to stop any one person monopolising the bandwidth.
In the 7 weeks since changing to the self REG system we have had 1200 accounts created of which arround 700 didn’t untick the newsletter box and added to mailing list. Although some are clearly fake addresses like dave@dave.com most look legit (haven’t sent out a mail shot yet to see how many bouceback.
