To view these printers, open your web PrintNode account and navigate to the device section, where you will see the system along with all connected printers available in the local system.

The most important part of this app is the API key which allows you to connect Odoo with printnode. You can manage your printnode by this essential secret code. You will even be able to fetch all connected System/ printers after adding the API key.

Follow the below step to generate API key and connect with odoo.

Step 1

Login to your printnode account and find the *API keys* tab( located right above). Simply click on it.

Connected System

After successfully connected with printnode all connected Printers and systems will be fetched automatically inside printers and system tab as you can see in the given image.

History of Printed Documents

When you print from odoo, a record or history of those printed documents is stored in the "Printed Document Details" section. This serves as a history or log of all the documents that have been printed using PrintNode, allowing you to track and review the previously printed items.



Printer Configuration

After connecting Odoo with PrintNode, all available printers will be automatically fetched. However, if you want to add extra information or configure specific details for individual printers, you can do so by accessing the "Printer" tab. Inside this tab, you'll find a list of all the printers available. You can open a particular printer for which you wish to configure additional settings or information.

The additional information that you can configure:

Default Printer: you can enable it if you want to make this printer as the default printer.

Color printer: Enable it if this printer is a color printer.

Papers: You can add all the paper sizes that are compatible and printable through this printer
Description: You can add description of printer



System Configuration

After connecting with the API, the system will appear within the system tab. Opening the system tab will reveal automatically fetched configurations. Additionally, you have the option to manually add new printers if necessary.



Reports

In Odoo's report, a new tab called "Printnode" has been added. This tab allows users to configure printing settings using Printnode. Users can set preferences such as printing actions, designated printers for different departments (like Accounts or HR), paper sizes, and whether to use color printing.

Action

User: Choose the user's name.

Default Action: Define the action for the selected user, like sending the document directly to a printer for a hard copy or sticking with the default Odoo flow for soft copy printing.

Printer: Assign a specific printer for the user. For instance, you can set different printers for various departments like Accounts or HR.

Paper Size:Specify the preferred paper size.

Color Printing: Toggle this option if a color printer is required for the document.



Print node user Rights

If a user is given Printnode “user rights” within the system, their access will be limited solely to viewing and managing the print history and details associated with Printnode. All other unrelated details or system information will be hidden from the user, ensuring their access is restricted to only Printnode-related activities and data within the system.



Printing restriction for user

Only selected users will have permission to print invoices or reports directly to a physical printer. Other users will only be able to generate soft copies or view the documents without the option to print a hard copy. This restriction applies to various reports like sales orders, quotations, bills, etc., ensuring that only selected users can print these documents directly to a printer.



Print Document

We're going to print a Sale order (S00007) printer here.

When you open that sale order, you will see a print button above it; when you click on it, you will find the quotation/sale order button.



Print/ Open button

After selecting the Quotation/Order button, you'll encounter the following options:
1. Open
2. Download



Open: This option allows you to preview the document. It enables you to verify the content before taking any further action.



Download: By clicking on the Download button, the document will be sent for printing on the designated printer. After selecting this option, ensure to check your printer for a hard copy of the document.



Set Correct printer Error

Error: If you've designated a report for a color printer and the selected printer isn't a color printer, it will generate an error. Similarly, if you haven't designated a color printer in the report but the selected printer is a color printer, it will prompt an error requesting a change in the printer configuration.

Solution: To address this issue, you can resolve it by either modifying the report settings to enable/disable color printing or adjusting the printer settings directly by enabling/disabling color functionality.
