Printing orders

[liderbug]

I'm setting up a cart for a carryout/deliver Pizza place. The standard http... add to my cart ... confirm order - email goes out - small computer on counter starts beeping [you have mail]. Zen Cart is hosted 800 miles away.

So I'm thinking an standalone app that pulls the order from the DB or email and prints out to a small printer or POS, is torn off and handed to the kitchen. I have to assume that someone has done something like this before and I don't have to reinvent...

Thanks
Chuck

Since ZC already emails orders you could set up a script to print emails as they come in?

We use a plugin for the Thunderbird email program that will automatically print emails from any particular account, etc.

I had setup one pizza web site and I used normal printer and it works perfect , what I did was I used the admin to forward the mail to outlook and it will automatically. I used the web site admin email address to receive email.
