What can I use?
A till is a little impracticle, and a printer is far too slow and costly (ink costs).
What would be the cheapest way to print out a reciept for goods i'm going to send in the post?
Ideally want it to have a business logo, company number and VAT registered number, as well as a contact details (could do this via business card though).
Thanks for any help...

To be honest, a cheap laser printer with a 3000 page toner is about £150 nowadays, and you could just buy pre printed letterheaded paper from Vistaprint. Would be super quick then....

I've got a couple of laser printers in the garage. Not sure if theres any toner in there though, might give them a go!
How much can you get stamps made up for nowadays?

Was talking about stamps as in "PAID" "SHIPPED" etc with ink pads 
Custom postage stamps sound cool though!
Even so, I need to figure out how to use the franking machine

USB receipt printer with some software will surely be the best way?

Get some integrated labels on your laser printer.
Then set up a word template with address in the sticker, you then print off invoice, peel off sticker and stick it to your letter.
Nice and quick and kills 2 birds with 1 stone

Can you not get one of those receipt printers like in shops where they use heat to print on the paper?
Then use a program to run it and run it via USB?

You wouldn't use that kind of receipt as a postage invoice really.
As said, use a laser printer and get some speciality stationary. Nearly everything you get these days comes with one of these in the packet:

I've had a bit of experience with thermal printers.
Fairly expensive to buy but after fannying about setting them up it's not too bad.
Can normally take a range of roll sizes.

Do Dyno not do some kind of receipt printer? Our 'standard' label printer is excellent.
Depends what size of receipt we're talking though, I thought you meant till receipt
I'd just go lazer with proper paper etc. We have a Brother at work and it's forever replacing toner, belts, drum units etc.
Whereas the Dell we have had at home (3000cn) hasn't missed a beat and only replaced consumables i.e. the ink.
