This module allows users to send reports to a printer using remote's configuration.

A remote is an external entity that access odoo. For example, computers, mobiles, servers... We will identify remotes by its name or ip. On some environments, we want to configure the printers by remote, because users may change their work place.

It adds an optional behaviour on reports to send it directly to a printer.

  • Use remote's configuration use the remote's behaviour

Also, this option can be selected as a user default option for printer.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you link printers to specific remotes (computers, mobiles, servers) and choose a "Use remote's default" printing option so reports go to the printer configured for the remote the user is working from.

This module extends the report-to-printer feature so that printers can be assigned to a remote (an external entity such as a computer, mobile or server identified by name or IP). On a printer record you get a new "Remotes" section listing which remotes may use that printer. On a remote record you get a "Printers" tab where you can add printer lines, each with a printer, an optional tray, a usage and a "default" flag.

A new printing action called "Use Remote Defaults" is added to the available printing actions. When a report is configured (or a user's default is set) to use this action, Odoo looks up the printer linked to the current remote for the requested usage and sends the report to that printer and tray. If no printer is configured for that remote, it falls back to the client behaviour.

Business rules: the same printer cannot be linked twice to the same remote for the same usage, and only one default printer is allowed per remote and usage. Changing the printer on a line clears the selected tray.
