Doesn't that assume the Point of Sale computer is connected directly to the printer via USB? I was picturing a shop where the printer is in the kitchen area away from the POS computer and the printer is connected to the network either by Wifi or Ethernet.

It's way simpler than that. Just create a printable version of your page with the body as follow:

This is assuming a few things, one that you either have an HP printer that supports ePrint or convince your client to get one. I also don't know if it supports anything fancy like PostScript with ePrint.
