Default Receipt Printers

We are moving from a handwritten receipt system at work to having a computer generated one. The developer has been working on it and started to talk to me about it today and I realized that they are probably going to be printing them out on full sheets of paper, but likely only need about 1/3 or 1/2 a sheet at most.

Thought I would tap the great CP brain trust and see if there was a way we could avoid this and not have it require a complete POS system.

I see you can get USB Thermal receipt printers. How well would something like that support printing from a document, like a PDF or Web Application?

Another alternative is being able to print on perforated half sheets on the existing printer, but that sounds like a nightmare to me, even if we could get it to work.

Any other options or thoughts?

Ideally, I want to have them build in an email receipt option, but with our clients a large portion will still need paper, so we have to have the option.
