Print directly to a printer

How do you setup a network printer to print reports/checks? While printing to PDF and printing is easy, at times the formatting is distorted (landscape reports or checks) it would be nice to be able to print directly to a printer.

    Hi Julie,

    Printing directly to a printer is not supported at this time with Dynamics 365 for Financials. I have seen this with another SaaS / cloud based Accounting system as well.

    I speculate that this is because Dynamics 365 is accessed by users on many different types of operating systems and versions, and to avoid getting into print / driver related issues, Microsoft has opted to go the PDF route given its universal availability and support.

    I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please take a moment to verify by clicking Yes next to "Did this answer your question?"

    Just to add, this is in the documentation here - docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-specify-printer-selection-reports

    We do acknowledge that it is something we would like to improve the experience on.

    Thanks,

    Chris
