Looks pretty neat! But what's the point of the thermal printer? Is this supposed to be used as a portable cash register?

  I would use it with the adhesive thermal paper for labelling up infrastructure, it sounds like it could make a decent administration machine. An Ethernet jack might be needed though.

    Something like this is much better suited to that purpose: https://brothermobilesolutions.com/products/handheld-printers/p-touch-edge-series/brother-pt-e550w/ https://brothermobilesolutions.com/products/handheld-printer...

      This has potential advantage of being able to register the thing you label in a database.

  It makes me think about when I was young, and my friend had the Sinclair ZX80 and the printer that came with it.

  I think there's lots of creative use cases for it, I could imagine printing out chunks of my source code as I'm programming, to reference as I work on other parts.

  I’ve imagined using a thermal printer as a semi-unattended packet radio terminal that wouldn’t lose messages when the batteries died.
