Configuration Procedure
Follow these steps to get PrintFlow up and running.
Step 1: Install and run the PrintFlow Desktop Agent
- Download the agent: Get the PrintFlow Desktop Agent from the official releases page (v1.0.0). Install it on a computer that has access to your printers (same machine or network).
- Start the agent and leave it running. Note the URL it listens on (e.g.
https://localhost:5000or your machine’s IP). - Ensure the agent can be reached from the machines where Odoo (or the POS) runs (firewall and network permissions).
Step 2: Global PrintFlow settings in Odoo
- Go to Settings (or General Settings) and open the PrintFlow app / section.
- Set PrintFlow Desktop Agent to the agent URL (e.g.
https://localhost:5000orhttps://192.168.1.100:5000). - Click Verify Connection to confirm Odoo can reach the agent.
- Use the shortcuts in that section to open Report Printers, Print History, or Kitchen Printers as needed.
Step 3: POS terminal configuration
- Go to Point of Sale → Configuration → open your POS (or create one).
- Enable PrintFlow (e.g. “Enable PrintFlow” or similar checkbox).
- Set PrintFlow server address if this terminal uses a different agent (otherwise the global URL is used).
- Set Receipt printer to the exact printer name as shown in the PrintFlow agent (for customer receipts).
- Choose Output format for receipts: graphic (image), graphic with cut, or raw text, depending on your printer.
Step 4: Kitchen / preparation printers
- Go to PrintFlow → Kitchen Printers (or Point of Sale → Configuration → your POS → Order Printers).
- Create or edit a preparation printer. Set its Product Categories so only the right products are sent to that printer.
- Set PrintFlow target printer (or equivalent) to the exact printer name as shown in the PrintFlow agent (e.g. “Kitchen”, “Bar”, “XP-80C”).
- Choose Ticket format (graphic or raw) for that printer. Save.
- Repeat for each kitchen or bar printer. Printer names must match the agent exactly.
Step 5: Assign printers to reports (invoices, delivery orders, etc.)
- In PrintFlow settings, click Report Printers (or go to Settings → Technical → Reports if your setup uses that path).
- Open the report you want to print automatically (e.g. Invoice, Delivery Slip, Picking Operations).
- Set the PrintFlow printer name to the exact name of the printer in the agent. Optionally set number of copies. Save.
- When that report is printed in Odoo, it will be sent to the configured PrintFlow printer.
Tip: Printer names are case-sensitive and must match exactly what the PrintFlow Desktop Agent shows. Use Verify Connection and Print History in PrintFlow to troubleshoot.
