$ ncal -bh | receipt
$ cowsay Receipt printers rule | receipt

I have a good reason for doing this, and I don't have anything more important I should be working on.

The reason reason I have this printer set up is for printing the shopping list. Printing from bash is a fun side effect of having a printer on MQTT.

When you hit the button it publishes a message. A service on the server polls #grocy for the current shopping list and publishes it out onto the print topic.

I just recorded a quick how-to video for my woolies+grocy firefox extension.

It took a a few takes before I got all the bugs ironed out. At one point I tried to order three thousand bottles of milk. Good times.
