- Web pages (that's just what Web applications are inside a browser) run under a lot of restrictions. They cannot read files - leave alone writing to files from local PC. Biggest demerit of Web application is it cannot easily control required hardware like POS printer or Cash drawer.
- Web cannot handle printing easily. Its not wise to say impossible but its cheaper to build Application that can handle individual Printers and also generate reports.
