What
At the Action they sell/sold these tiny thermal BT printers for under 20 euros.
This project is an attempt to collect knowledge about it.
Who
It's made by 'Karsten' seemingly, who import them from china for several customers and have some android apps for their line of printers.
Hackery?
On connecting the powered on printer to a USB port of a machine, you gain a /dev/usb/lp* (or similar). This will allow you to print 'directly' to it.
echo -e "HARK\n\n\n\n" > /dev/usb/lp*
Possibly this can allow the protocol as described in the blogpost under Links
