Hello,

We are trying to configure a printer that is located on a different network than our application server, which is hosted on Azure. We attempted to connect using the printer’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but this approach did not work.

Could you provide some guidance or examples on how to properly configure a remote printer in this scenario?

Our goal is to integrate the printer into a process flow using the “Print File” action to print reports. In this context, could you clarify whether the printer settings defined in the report configuration are relevant or taken into account?

We would appreciate your perspective on how these settings influence the printing process.

Thank you

      Hi Alexandra,

      At the moment it is not that easy with the platform, I think.

      We do support local printers - but that is of course not possible on Azure WebApps.
      The support for the printing protocol IPP can not be used from the “Print file” connector at this time.

      If your printer supports some kind of API it might be possible, but requires manual work. Another option might be to run some printing service on the local network that reads from a queue. This could of course be another Indicium that has access to that printer.

      Regards,

      Dick van den Brink
