[Jose Orlando]

Hello

i need to print directly in two printers from idempiere. Invoice is printed in a roll printer (pre printed form), and a work order (any jasper format) is printed in a laser printer

how idempiere select the correct printer? how assign a printer to a jasper report?

any ideas?

thansk,

Hi,
I created a basic script to print directly and you can extend it if you want. It is stored on my bitbucket account. (aupatric script_silentprint). It is a basic idea and we use it on Debian, but I think it can be transfered to other opersting systems and it is easy to extend it to your needs.

Regards

Hi Jose Orlando

You can use CUPS as your printer server for the network printers, install the CUPS client in the idempiere server, and then create a process to send the job. Something like:

private void print(MInOut shipment) {

ReportEngine re = ReportEngine.get (Env.getCtx(), ReportEngine.SHIPMENT, shipment.get_ID(), get_TrxName());

if(re.getPrintFormat() != null) {

re.getPrintInfo().setPrinterName("Lexmark_MX511de");

re.print();

}

}

private void print(JasperPrint jasperPrint) throws PrinterException, JRException {

PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

// Create an array of PrintServices 

PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);

int selectedService = 0;

// Scan found services to see if anyone suits our needs 

boolean found = false;

for(int i = 0; i < services.length;i++){

if(services[i].getName().contains("Lexmark_MX511de")){

//If the service is named as what we are querying we select it 

found = true;

selectedService = i;

}

}

if (!found)

log.severe("Can't find printer  " + p_PrinterName);

job.setPrintService(services[selectedService]);

PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();

MediaSizeName mediaSizeName = MediaSizeName.ISO_A4;

printRequestAttributeSet.add(mediaSizeName);

printRequestAttributeSet.add(new Copies(1));

JRPrintServiceExporter exporter = new JRPrintServiceExporter();

exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);

// We set the selected service and pass it as a paramenter 

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE, services[selectedService]);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, services[selectedService].getAttributes());

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printRequestAttributeSet);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);

exporter.exportReport();

}
