Unable to use printers from web client

afarr · 2012-10-19

I have NAV 2013 RTM setup – SQL Server, RTC and Dev Environment are all on my PC.
In Printer Selections, I have one printer selected for all users and all reports; and another printer that is just for my user.

From RTC, when I print a Sales Order, I can choose any printer (not just the two that are listed in Printer Selections).

However, when running the web client from the same PC, when I print the Order Confirmation of a Sales Order, I get buttons to Preview, and Save As PDF, but I can’t print directly to printer.
Also, “Post and Print” gives a message:
“The report cannot be printed. To print the report, the printer must be set up to run on Microsoft NAV Dynamics Server.”

What should I do to print from the web client?

Client side printing is not supported.

If you enable Background Posting, you can "Post and Print" from WebClient.
See here how to enable Background Postinghttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/nav/archive/2012/08/31/background-posting-and-job-queue-in-microsoft-dynamics-nav-2013.aspx

Thanks for the replies. I will mark this as "Solved" because at least there is a definite answer about what is (or is not) possible.
