Virtual printer (no printer needed)

Save receipts inside RollCast now, and print or share them later.

A virtual printer lives inside RollCast. Nothing comes out on paper. Each print is saved as a receipt that you can look at, share or print later.

When to use it

Use it when your printer is not with you, when your printer is broken, or when you want to try RollCast before you buy a printer.

Add a virtual printer

There are two ways. Use either one.

  1. 1No printers yet? On the main screen, tap "Add a virtual printer (no printer needed)".
  2. 2Or tap "Add printer", then tap "Virtual".
  3. 3Pick your "Paper width": 58 mm or 80 mm.
  4. 4Tap "Save".
"Add printer" with "Virtual" picked.

Tip

Pick the same paper width as the real printer you will use later. Then printed copies look exactly the same.

You print to it just like a real printer:

  1. 1Tap "Test" on the virtual printer's card to save a test receipt.
  2. 2In Chrome, tap ⋮, then "Share", then "Print". Pick the virtual printer at the top.
  3. 3To use "Share" and then "RollCast", first tap "Default" on the virtual printer.
