I think we can close this spike as we've settled on a solution. Thanks.

It was decided that we will use Chrome running in kiosk print mode for short-term solution, and possibly for long-term solution. Follow-up to this issue is to test this functionality with receipt printers (which is a Chalmers' requirement) - .

To address #1 (Chalmers' needs):

According to Theodor Tolstoy, they are using a Star TSP700II receipt printer. See photos above.

To address #3 (Default Print Settings):

I conducted the following test. I changed the print settings on Chrome from portrait to landscape, and from Letter to another paper size, and both settings persisted when running in kiosk print mode. It's worth noting that it might prove a little confusing to an end user if they use the browser for something else, change the print settings, and then return to FOLIO and start printing staff slips because they won't get an opportunity to change those settings when running in kiosk print mode.

To address #2 above (Desktop Shortcuts):

On a Mac, follow these steps:

1. Open a text editor, copy and paste this command:

2. Save and name the file 'FOLIOApp'.

3. Open terminal, and change permissions on that file using this command:

4. Add .command extension to the end of the filename.

5. Run FOLIO in kiosk print mode by double-clicking on FOLIOApp.
