Presto
Presto lets HTTPS web apps print to local and network label / RFID printers that
browsers can’t reach directly. A small native service (prestod) runs on the machine;
web pages connect over secure WebSocket (wss://127.0.0.1:31075/ws), submit raw
printer-language jobs (ZPL first-class, plus EPL/TSPL/SBPL/CPCL/ESC-POS), and get real
job and per-label RFID-encode feedback — not fire-and-forget.

What’s distinctive
Section titled “What’s distinctive”- RFID as a first-class API — per-label
~RVencoded/voided accounting,^RSretry/void,^HRcalibration. No competing bridge does this. - Job state machine with verification level —
spooler/printer/rfid; never claims more than the transport reported. - Label Designer — visual ZPL editor with RFID inlay overlays and server-side preview.
