When it comes to integrating with external devices, the general rule of thumb is as long as that device has an API that you can communicate with, then yes it’s possible.

This could be a great solution: trigg webhook by APi  
In the case of POS, tens of thousands of requests are implied, if not hundreds, and $ 0.02 for printing a label is expensive. I just open the label printing window and the user needs to click the print button in the system dialog. All other methods with automatic label printing require additional payment. If someone manages to find a way to automatically send for printing, printing without additional financial costs, I would be very interested to know this method.  
An approximate direction is to access the local deployed print server via js column. But so far I have not been able to find an easy solution.

I’ve been using an epson colour label printer with a web-based POS setup by triggering print commands through a local print server script. It works fine as long as the device you’re printing from is connected to the same network. You just need to send the print data through a simple HTTP request and let the script handle the rest.

Correct.  
A printer with a “Embedded Web Server” feature is the way to use in these cases. Depending on printer manufacturer/brand, this feature can have other names.

How can we print beyond our same network? Using a DDNS service on your router should work.
