Hi,

Is any one know how to print a server side report from client side browser instead of downloading the report.

In my odoo we have creating one customer label and i need to print that from another network computer,but i am not able print it directly to the locally connected printers. and i have seen so many of them are preferred to use cups to connect the printers,but i need to print those reports from client side.

I have seen one JavaScript library Print.js http://printjs.crabbly.com/ which is used , when users request to print reports that are generated on the server side.

Can i use this in odoo ?  Is anyone tried this?

Hi you could always download the pdf file and save it into a flash drive to print it wherever you want.

But

I'm glad to read that I'm not crazy when I create a module specifically for this, print Odoo Qweb reports directly in the browser using Print.js

I do it because I get some serious performance issues when printing reports in a very report printing intensive Odoo app. I also create an issue to Odoo here:

https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/15458

You could find the module here:

https://github.com/aek/aek-odoo/tree/8.0/addons/aek_browser_pdf

An small example of how could be used:

    @api.multi
    def test_browser_pdf(self):
        datas = {'ids': self.ids}
        
        return {
            'type': 'ir.actions.client',
            'tag': 'aek_browser_pdf',
            'params': {
                'report_name': 'sale.report_saleorder',
                'ids': self.ids,
                'datas': datas,
                'context': {'lang': 'es_ES'}
            }
        }

As a note aside this is just a proof of concept, some stuffs need to be done to get it as a complete replace of wkhtmltopdf for client side PDF printing, like Page Header and Footer, Paper Format that need to be customized by a client side dynamic CSS Style for the page to print
