Wireless Kitchen Printer Set-Up for a Food Truck/Outdoor Kitchen

[nicki]

I am looking for a kitchen printer (so not a thermal printer) that can be configured to work wirelessly.

Prior to using Toast, we used an Epson TM-U220B with a network port (USB) and a wireless dongle with our previous POS system. I see no similar option on Toast. Is the same model printer with an Epson wireless dongle compatible with Toast? I see that the model is still supported.

Another option is to connect a mesh point via ethernet to our existing Toast kitchen printer via ethernet port. 

The long run of CAT6 from our food truck to the building is becoming a pain to maintain.

I think your best bet would be trying a wireless bridge, like Mikrotik Wireless Wire, I believe it comes already configured as a transparent bridge so shouldn't need to anything but plug it in, you already have the cable run, just add the one to the building and and the other side to the food truck. Could even add a small switch in the truck and have multiple Ethernet ports for other devices or another wireless access point if you wanted.
