This module allows users to send reports to a printer attached to the server.
It adds an optional behaviour on reports to send it directly to a printer.
Report behaviour is defined by settings.
Settings can be configured:
You must install:
After installing enable the "Printing / Print User" option under access rights to give users the ability to view the print menu.
You must fix Ghostscript and GSView paths in "System parameters" menu (this should be improved in future).
If you are running Odoo as a service (as you should do), GSView may have issues finding printer: "Couldn't open Windows GDI printer driver". You can fix it this way: open a command prompt as administrator, then type and run:
reg copy "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices" "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices" /f
That way, all printers of current Windows user will be also available to all other Windows users.
More details in this post: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/redmon/muir.htm .
To show all available printers for your server, use the Settings/Configuration/Printing/Update Printers from CUPS wizard.
Then go to the user profile and set the users printing action and default printer.
