Odoo Direct Print Pro
Enterprise-Grade Direct Printing & IoT Weight Scale Integration Engine for Odoo. No PDF Downloads. Instant Automatic Execution.
Quick Navigation
Revolutionize Your Printing Workflow
The Odoo Direct Print Pro module provides a comprehensive, production-ready framework for direct thermal and office printing, removing the need to manually download PDFs or open browser print prompts. Through custom priority-routing engines, automated event triggers, an integrated visual label designer, and IoT weight scale communication, it optimizes operations in warehousing, manufacturing, shipping, and sales checkout.
Why Choose Direct Print Pro?
- True Direct Printing: Works via local agents, raw socket TCP/IP, IPP/HTTP, and cloud relay services.
- Event-Driven Automation: Triggers picking slips, bills, and packing lists instantly on validation.
- Intelligent Workstations: Groups scales and printers to route documents to physical workspace hubs automatically.
- Scale Devices: Automatically retrieves packages' weight and pushes it back into shipping slips.
Core Features & Functionalities
Instant Direct Printing
Send print payloads (PDF, ZPL, EPL, or Raw text) directly to physical devices. Fully integrated with standard network protocols (TCP/IP socket port 9100, HTTP/IPP) or localized USB agents.
Automated Business Triggers
Trigger automatic prints based on record state transitions (e.g., printing invoice PDF on 'Post', shipping labels on delivery 'Validate', or finished goods labels on manufacturing 'Done').
Score-Based Priority Routing
Configure routing rules to matches records to printers based on priorities: Workstation (100 pts) > Assigned User (50 pts) > Warehouse (25 pts) > Company fallback.
Visual Label Designer
Design layouts (Product, Lot, Package labels) using standard fields, barcodes, and QRs. Includes layout JSON compiler and custom Jinja-style raw ZPL renderer.
IoT Scales Integration
Read real-time weights from USB HID, Serial, or TCP/IP scale hardware. Integrate scales directly with packing, shipping, and delivery wizards.
Live Print Dashboard
Real-time KPIs tracking success rates, queue sizes, failed jobs, online printers, and a 7-day trend chart. Control job retries and cancellations easily.
Installation Steps
- addon Path: Extract the

X-DP-Api-Key).
Adding a Printer
Navigate to Direct Print > Devices > Printers and click New:
- Connection Protocols: Support Network TCP/IP, IPP/HTTP, Local OS Spooler (lp), Cloud Relay API, and WebSocket Agents.
- Device Identifier: Enter the IP/Port (e.g.
192.168.1.150:9100) or USB printer identifier. - Supported formats: Match printer types with ZPL, PDF, or raw format outputs.
Security & User Roles

| Direct Print Manager | Configure Printers, Routing Rules, Workstations, Shipping Profiles, and templates. View all job history. | Full CRUD on devices and print jobs. No API settings access. |
| Direct Print Administrator | Full access. Manage API credentials, global parameters, audit logs retention, and system backend hooks. | All Settings & Configuration models. |
Troubleshooting & Support
Q: Why is my print job status stuck at "dispatched"?
A: "Dispatched" means the system pushed the job payload but is waiting for the destination printer agent or network service to acknowledge receipt. Check if your printing agent or network socket port 9100 is reachable.
Q: How can I debug printing errors?
A: Turn on "Detailed Logging" in Direct Print settings. This registers the complete traceback of socket or IPP connection errors inside the Direct Print > Logs > Audit Logs view.
