I need a 3rd receipt printer option for gift receipts

Gift receipts are becoming a necessity. In my mind, a gift receipt shows
everything but the pricing.

I can make my own template for gift receipts. But I still need my existing 2
templates for other reasons. Here is how we do it at my stores:
Printer #1- a regular receipt on an OPOS Epson printer
Printer #2- 8.5"x11" 'invoices' on a laser printer: for bicycle service
work, deliveries, workorders, and any complex transaction requiring maximum
human readability.

That doesn't leave an option for a receipt in gift format. Ideally, I would
have a 3rd prompt to send a gift-format receipt to the Epson receipt printer.

While you're at it you might as well make a 4th printer option. I'm sure
we'll all need that soon enough.

Cheers,

I have the exact same problem and use my printers the exact same way! I
would think lots of people could use a 3rd printer option for receipts. In my
case "printers": 1st-Sales, 2nd-Work/Layaway orders, 3rd-Gift receipts. I
hope Microsoft RMS is listening!
