I am developing a web system for financial control you need to print invoices in thermal/fiscal printer.

Depending on your infrastructure, you can have your Web application interact directly with your tax printer from your server. For this it is necessary that the latter has access to the printer.

This way you eliminate individual settings for each machine that will use your application; only your server will need to have the driver for the device.

It is possible, just define a print layout and send the document like any other, to the printer of the equipment, whether thermal or not, who manages the printer is the machine, you will only generate a kind of Report, where it will be diagrammed in the format of the note you use.
