Printing without UIPrintInteractionController

Question

i am developing a POS(point of sale)application.i am able to print successfully with the UIPrintInteractionController popover. however , when a printticket button is pressed

Answer 1

Good news, with iOS8 it is now possible to print without UIPrintInteractionController. See the WWDC 2014 video Adopting AirPrint. They specifically mention how useful this is for POS applications.

Answer 2

I've interacted with the iOS Printing API a bit, and I've never come across a way to print without using the UIPrintInteractionController. As an iOS device user, I'm not sure I'd want a way to print without my say-so, because then any old app could just start spamming my printer.
