Local Printer Proxy is a Chrome extension designed to facilitate seamless communication between web applications and the Bixolon Web Print SDK, specifically for environments utilizing Bixolon receipt printers. This tool addresses the limitations imposed by modern browser security policies, such as CORS and Mixed Content, which prevent HTTPS web pages from directly interfacing with localhost services. By acting as a proxy bridge, it enables efficient HTTP requests from web pages to the Bixolon SDK running on localhost (port 18080).

Key features include support for printer discovery and print commands, ensuring that users can easily manage their printing tasks. The extension's lightweight design promotes stability, making it an ideal solution for enterprise Point of Sale (POS) and retail environments. To utilize this extension, the Bixolon Web Print SDK must be installed and operational, and it is specifically compatible with Bixolon SRP series receipt printers.
