Can I emulate Epson Thermal POS printer?

I am working on a Xamarin mobile app and I need to develop print functionality for Epson Tm-T88 Thermal POS Printer and similar printers. I am using ePOS SDK for this and trying to write wrapper code for Xamarin since it is native Android SDK.

Since I do not have the POS printer itself and hence I am constantly sending the apks to the person who has it... My question is whether it is possible to emulate the Thermal printer virtually somehow so that I can test and debug it without owning a real POS printer? Maybe something similar to "print to PDF" functionality where I can test it or Is there any service on cloud which provide the printer and the output somehow?

For people who stumble on this question in the future. I've been writing an emulator. It's in the early stages but it implements most of the commonly used commands and outputs to png or html.
