🖨 One click in Odoo → the page comes out of your printer.

Direct Print

Stop the download-open-print dance. Send any Odoo report — invoices, delivery slips, shipping labels, barcode labels — straight to your local printer with a single click. No PDF download, no third-party software, no print-cloud subscription, no IoT box.

USB · WiFi · Bluetooth · Network Any Odoo Report No Subscription Community & Enterprise
Direct Print — send any Odoo report straight to your printer

Print Without the Detour

Out of the box, clicking Print in Odoo downloads a PDF that you then have to open and print by hand. Direct Print lets you flip any report so that the same click opens your browser’s print dialog — ready to fire at whatever printer that device can already reach.

● One-click printing
Hit Print and the report goes straight to the print dialog — no downloaded file to find, open, and print yourself.
● Any printer, any device
USB, WiFi, Bluetooth or network printers — from a desktop, laptop, tablet or the Odoo mobile app. If the device can print, so can Odoo.
● Per-report control
Choose exactly which reports print directly and which keep the standard download behaviour — one setting on each report.

Everything You Need

A lightweight layer on top of standard Odoo reporting — nothing to host, nothing to subscribe to.

● Print Any Report
Invoices, quotations, delivery slips, shipping labels, barcode labels — any report type in Odoo works.
● Print Preview
The browser print dialog shows the document before it prints, so you see exactly what comes out.
● Print from Mobile
Print from any mobile device or the Odoo mobile app to a local WiFi or Bluetooth printer.
● No Subscription
Works out of the box. No PrintNode, no print-cloud service, no recurring fees — ever.
● No Extra Hardware
No IoT box and no special software — just the standard printer driver your computer already uses.
● Simple to Use
Install it and it works. The only step is choosing which reports should print directly.

How it works

Install it on your existing reports — flipping a report to direct print takes one field.

  1. Install the module — it depends only on the standard base and web apps and works on Community and Enterprise.
  2. Turn on developer mode, then open Settings → Technical → Actions → Reports.
  3. Open the report you want, go to the Print tab, and find Default Behavior.
  4. Switch it from Send to Client (download) to Open Print Dialog (direct print).
  5. Done — clicking Print on that report now opens the print dialog instead of downloading a PDF. Repeat for any other reports.
Note: Send to Client is the standard Odoo behaviour and stays the default for every report, so nothing changes until you opt a report in. Direct printing uses the printers the user’s own device can already reach.

See It in Action

From the one-time setup to a report printing the moment you click — here’s the whole flow inside Odoo.

Step 1 Open Settings → Technical → Actions → Reports
Settings — Technical menu with Reports highlighted
Step 2 On the report’s Print tab, set Default Behavior to “Open Print Dialog”
Delivery Slip report with Default Behavior set to Open Print Dialog
Step 3 Click Print — the browser print dialog opens straight to your printer, no download
Clicking Print opens the browser print dialog ready to send to the printer
