When thermal printing is enabled on your account, you'll have access to the "Basic Printing - Thermal Printing (8.5 x 11)" option, which uses your browser's print dialog.

If you'd like to have a direct connection with FGL commands, you'll need to set up the Boca as a raw printer and download the QZ Tray application — this allows Ludus (a web-based system) to communicate directly with your printer through your web browser, giving fast and seamless printing.
