Hello,

 

We are currently moving to IFS Application 10 Update 6 and we read in the documentation the .NET IFS Printer Agents currently do not support the Socket Server which we’d use to print ZPL files.  The java version of the print agent still supports a Socket Server to print ZPL but we’d like to utilize the .NET Print Agents.

 

Is there any release information on when the .NET Print Agents will implement the Socket Server?

 

Thank you,

William Klotz

Hi William,

The .Net Print Agent doesn’t support socket spooling at the moment. We have this in our backlog and it will be most probablly in later this year we might be able to attend to it.

 

Till then if you want the socket spooling functionality then you will have to use the Java Print Agent. You can find it in one of the following folders deepening on your UPD level if it’s unavailable to be downloaded from the Addons page.

 

<ifs_home>\instance\<instance name>
or
<ifs_home>\instance\<instance name>\printagent\old

Hi @Sajith.Bandara,

I saw App 10 UPD14 has the spooler on .NET Print Agent. 

Haven't configured it for anybody in this version yet, but it seems the functionality is back.

Hi @sara19,

 

We encountered some issues and had to set up the printers through the Processing Print Jobs task template in the setup IFS connect. The mechanism is similar to direct printing, and the customer is happy with the setup. 

 

Thanks,

Sajith.
