Which receipt printer is recommended for Hungry Canadian merchants?

The Epson TM-m30III is a commonly supported option and is widely used in hospitality. For stability in busy locations, Wi-Fi/LAN (network) printing is generally recommended.

Is there a low-cost printer option for Hungry Canadian merchants?

Yes. The NETUM NT-1809DD Bluetooth printer has been confirmed working on Android devices running Android OS 15 or higher and is a cost-effective option for smaller locations.

Does printing work on iPad (iOS)?

Printing behavior can vary by device and app version. If you are using iPad/iOS and do not see a print option, contact Hungry Canadian support and we will confirm the best setup for your location.

What paper size does Hungry Canadian print receipts in?

Hungry Canadian receipts currently print at a default width of 58mm. If you use a printer loaded with wider paper (for example, 80mm rolls), receipts may appear condensed. This does not affect order accuracy.

My printer is connected but nothing prints. What should I do?

Confirm the printer has power and paper, confirm your device is on the same Wi-Fi network (for Wi-Fi/LAN printers), then run a test print. If it still does not print, email support with your printer model, connection type, and device type.

Exact screens can vary by printer model. This is the standard workflow used widely in hospitality and POS environments.

Switch the printer to its Wi-Fi printing mode (model-specific; often via the printer’s feed/button flow).
The printer will typically print a slip showing its IP address.
In your Hungry Canadian merchant settings, enter the printer’s IP address where prompted.
Ensure your tablet/phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.
Run a test print.

Screen labels may vary by device manufacturer. This is the verified workflow for Hungry Canadian’s Orders app flow.

Turn the printer on.
On your Android tablet, open Settings → Bluetooth.
Locate the printer (often listed as Bluetooth Printer).
Pair and enter the passcode (commonly 1234).
Open the Hungry Canadian Orders app.
Select Orders → open a pending order.

Important note on receipt width

Hungry Canadian currently prints receipts at a default width of 58mm. If you use wider paper (for example, 80mm rolls), receipts may appear condensed. This is expected behavior and does not affect order accuracy.

Star Micronics (cloud printing workflows)

Some Star Micronics models can be configured for cloud printing workflows. Because models and environments vary, Hungry Canadian support can assist with the correct configuration for your location.

Status: Supported path available; ongoing field validation across real merchant environments. If you are choosing hardware today, Epson TM-m30III is the recommended starting point, and NETUM NT-1809DD is a strong low-cost Android option.

Troubleshooting (fast checks)

No power: confirm the power cable is secure and the unit is switched on.
No paper / paper error: reload the thermal roll and close the lid firmly.
Wi-Fi/LAN issues: confirm printer + device are on the same network; reboot printer/router if needed.
Bluetooth issues: confirm it is paired to the correct device and not paired elsewhere.
Still stuck: email support@hungrycanadian.ca with printer model + connection type + device type.
