If you want to use client-side printing via Print Agent:

- Add print agents in Settings > Technical > Print Agent
Step 3: Configure Print Settings
Set up your default printing preferences:

- User Configuration: Allow users to override global settings with their personal preferences
In the configuration, you can:
- Enable/disable direct print feature
- Set default printing method (Server, Agent, or Client)
- Select default printer or agent
How to Use
Printing Reports
- Open any report in Odoo (e.g., Sales Order, Invoice, Quotation)
- Click the Print button
- If direct print is enabled and configured, you'll see a dialog to select printing method:
- Choose Server Print to print from the server
- Choose Agent Print to use a print agent
- Choose Client Print to print from your browser
- Choose Download PDF to download the PDF file
- Select the printer or agent and confirm
- The report will be printed directly without downloading PDF
Automatic Direct Print
When you configure a default printing method and printer/agent, the system will automatically print without showing the selection dialog. This streamlines the printing process for frequently used reports.
