Can my Printer be printing on very long extended paper roll?
I'll just cut the receipt myself.
Notice how your printer will just kep ejecting the paper if it is very long until the paper fully comes out....
So can I make the printer to stop ejecting the rest of paper roll when it is finished printing?
If it helps; I have an HP officejet 7500A Wideformat printer and an Epson XP-300

It is impossible to convert ANY other type of printer into a thermal one. For that you need it to have heads which only heat the paper. And it needs to be thermal paper, which is a poor printing media. Since it relies on heat applied direct to the page from the heating elements it is also very prone to fading if it gets warm from other sources. Just carrying a thermal page in your pocket too long can make it totally fade. And all normal printers, inkjet or laser have to be set to a specific page size or other types of printing can become garbage.
