⚖️ THE DIFFERENCE

Old Way vs Our Way

❌ Traditional Setup

✗ Requires expensive IoT Box hardware (~$200+)
✗ PrintNode subscription costs every single month
✗ Limited to LAN connected printers only
✗ Failed prints go unnoticed — no job tracking

✅ Our Print Engine

✓ Zero hardware — module connects directly via network or USB
✓ One-time purchase. No subscriptions, no recurring fees
✓ Network, USB, WiFi, ESC/POS thermal printers all supported
✓ Full print job log with auto-retry and failure notifications

ℹ️ Important Information

• No IoT Box is required. No monthly or annual subscription fee. One-time purchase.

• This module runs on Windows, Ubuntu, macOS and Raspberry Pi — making it fast, reliable and platform-independent.

• Supports all ESC/POS thermal printers, standard network & USB printers.

• You don't need to install printer drivers or connect your printer to the system with wires. The Print Engine directly manages all network printers.

• It makes internet connection to the machine where the print engine client is running.

• For USB printers, optional packages: pip install pyserial or pip install pywin32

Direct Print Pro

Print any Odoo report or POS receipt directly to your printer without downloading PDF files. No IoT Box, no external subscriptions.

Installation

  1. Copy the aq_direct_print folder to your Odoo addons path.
  2. Restart Odoo and update the apps list.
  3. Install "Direct Print Pro" from the Apps menu.

For USB printers (optional):

  • COM port: pip install pyserial
  • Windows printer name: pip install pywin32

Configuration

Printers

Go to Direct Print > Configuration > Printers and create a printer:

  • Network printer: Enter the IP address and port (default 9100).
  • USB printer (COM): Enter the serial port (e.g. COM3) and baud rate.
  • USB printer (Windows): Enter the exact Windows printer name.

Click Test Connection to verify the printer is reachable.

User Preferences

Each user can set their default printer in Settings > Users > Preferences.

Print Rules

Go to Direct Print > Configuration > Print Rules to create automatic printing rules triggered by record creation, confirmation or validation.

Settings

Go to Settings > General Settings > Direct Print Pro to enable/disable direct printing globally and configure the print mode.

Usage

Backend Reports

When Direct Print is enabled, clicking "Print" on any report (invoice, sale order, etc.) will send the PDF directly to the printer instead of downloading it.

POS Receipts

POS receipts are automatically sent to the configured thermal printer when you click "Print Full Receipt". The receipt is converted to ESC/POS format and sent via TCP or serial port.

If the printer is unavailable, the system falls back to the browser print dialog.

Print Log

Go to Direct Print > Print Log to see a history of all print jobs with status, user, printer and timestamp.
