Configuring a POS printer for remote printing

How can I configure a restaurant's POS printer to print orders from a web site? We have an online ordering web application, based on .NET/SQL. Once the order is submitted online, we want to print it on the POS printer in the restaurant.

POS Printer - Epson TM-88V, or equivalent Printer is connected to internet directly(or through a router), but NOT through a PC!

The online ordering system is Clorder (http://www.clorder.com)

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

I attempted to check their site out, I would recommend staying away from them. Almost none of the links work, they take you back to the same marketing page (product.aspx). They have no technical reference (but there may be one if you get in to the members area) on how you get the orders on the SMB side. Also according to their Blog section this company only started existing the middle of last month. I would recommend going with someone who has been around a bit longer. – Scott Chamberlain
Scott..I am one of the two members who started Clorder as a startup. We have both end user app as well as a business owner application with a ton of features. 9 restaurants are currently using it with no issues, and we have 4 in pipeline. Currently, the order confirmation is sent as email/fax/txt message/voice call, depending on the need. Some of our customers preferred printing on a POS, but the POS folks are charging anywhere between $12K to $20K to integrate for something as simple as printing an order from a website! The clorder website is still incomplete, although our application is not! – user1457386

You will need to configure something inside your network that will retrieve the orders from your website, and then that will print to your printer.
