how to configure the base report to printer in openerp?

Question

I have installed in base_report_to_printer module for print direct to printers and installed all the dependences like pycups all the things'. I have configure the printing action and default printer in user profile. Now I want to print to direct printer when I hit the print button?

I have followed below procedure:

• After installing enable the "Printing / Print Operator" option under access rights to give users the ability to view the print menu.

• 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.

I want to print direct to printers.

Answer 1

You need to install pycups library into the server.

Step to install pycups

sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev
sudo pip install pycups

Then you need to configure cloud printers into your google accounts. In google cloud printers you will see IPP of the printers.

You need to add new printer into your server using that IPP. So when user request print to that printer then server identifies request and forward that request to appropriate location.

To show all available printers for your server, use the Settings/Configuration/Printing/Update Printers from CUPS wizard.

You can configure reports printing action for each report or for each user as well.
