Community,

I have a question need your expertise here.

Can I just install IFS Print Agent onto my local laptop? I will have a Zebra mobile printer connected with my laptop via bluetooth.

 

I am trying to using my laptop access IFS via IEE and print the label via the Zebra mobile printer, is that possible?

 

Thank you.

Hi @ronhu,

 

If your report can be printed using the print dialog, then it’s possible to choose the local printers in the PC.

I hope your requirement for printing to a logical printer bypassing the print dialog?

It’s possible to install the print agent in the local PC and map the zebra printer to a logical printer as the same way you do it in a server :)

 

Hope it helps!

@dsj I think the only challenge is, the mobile printer might have to connect to WLAN. bluetooth might not work. as it cannot be recognized by IFS connect?
