If you still think of receipt printers as an afterthought to a POS (point of sale) project, there is a good chance you are missing out on a myriad of untapped services.

If there is one mantra the channel has heard repeated over and over for most of the past several years, it is that selling hardware is a losing proposition.

VARs that fail to educate themselves about this trend are missing out. To further illustrate this point, consider receipt printers.
