Printing to local bluetooth device?

(1) ShareShare

Hi - thanks for looking at my question!
 
I have been asked to build an app that can simply scan and then print a barcode in an area with limited mobile data signal.   (using an iphone or Android mobile device)
 
1. User scan barcode
2. Change 1st to chars of the barcode
3. Display the barcode using a web service
4. Print new barcode to a local bluetooth connected mobile Zebra printer.
 
as far as I can see, the only print option that PowerApps uses in the PRINT() function and that seems pretty limited.  PRINT() doesn't seem to do anything on a mobile device, however, it does open the print dialog box when run on my laptop.
 
 
I've managed to do up to 3 but am not able to do the bluetooth print from the Powerapp.
 
Is this even possible with Powerapps

    Hi, my team is facing a similar challenge, but the post currently marked as the answer to this thread links to a video that uses an API, it does not cover how to talk to a locally available device via Bluetooth. Does anyone know if this is achievable in PowerApps? Thanks!
