i am trying to tweak or change a line of coding that allows me to print to a receipt on Android using a third party app. The third party app only understands the below code. Thanks in advance.

JavaScript

function sendToQuickPrinter(){
    var text = "test printerBig title";
    var textEncoded = encodeURI(text);
    window.location.href="quickprinter://"+textEncoded;
}

How can i use both above and bottom code combined so that the quickprinter:// understands the container and able to print onto my receipt without using any additional files. Thanks again

Java

jQuery(".invoice-print-button-container").on("click", function(){
     var printWindow = window.open("", "PRINT", "height=400,width=600");
     printWindow.document.write(""+ jQuery(".invoice-order-id").text()  + "");
     printWindow.document.write("");
     printWindow.document.write("");
     printWindow.document.write(""+jQuery(".invoice-main-wrapper").html()+"");
     printWindow.document.write("");
     printWindow.document.close(); // necessary for IE >= 10
     printWindow.focus(); // necessary for IE >= 10*-/
     printWindow.addEventListener("load", function(){
         printWindow.print();
         printWindow.close();
     }, true);
     return true;
 });

What I have tried:

I have tried the below code but the receipt paper comes out but it doesn't display the container information that i need.

JavaScript

jQuery(".invoice-print-button-container").on("click", function(){
    var printWindow = window.open("", "PRINT", "height=400,width=600");
      printWindow.document.write(""+ jQuery(".invoice-order-id").text()  + "");
      printWindow.document.write("");
      printWindow.document.write("");
      printWindow.document.write(""+jQuery(".invoice-main-wrapper").html()+"");
      printWindow.document.write("");
      var textEncoded = encodeURI(printWindow.document.write);
      window.location.href="quickprinter://"+textEncode;`

You'll need to read the documentation for the third-party app.
