PrintNodeConnect

PrintNodeConnect for Business Central

PrintNodeConnect enables companies to send print jobs directly from Business Central to the cloud-based PrintNode service — securely, reliably, and without the need for on-premise print servers.

The app integrates Business Central with PrintNode, allowing documents such as invoices, reports, labels, and order confirmations to be routed seamlessly to your PrintNode-managed printers.

You can configure which printers should be available from Business Central and define rules for how different document types are handled. All activity is logged, making it easy to track print jobs and troubleshoot issues.

Print jobs are processed through a background queue in Business Central to ensure stable performance and predictable throughput.

Why not Microsoft Universal Print

Microsoft Universal Print is a powerful solution, but often overly complex for simple Business Central printing needs.
Its licensing model is tied to Microsoft 365 and based on print jobs, making costs hard to predict and explain.
The “print job” concept adds uncertainty, especially for automated or high-volume scenarios.

Setup typically requires multiple Microsoft services (Entra ID, connectors, permissions), increasing complexity.
Even with built-in Business Central support, configuration and troubleshooting are not fully plug-and-play.
This results in longer implementation time and higher support overhead.
In contrast, third-party solutions offer simpler setup, clear pricing, and API-first integration.
For many organizations, this makes them a more practical and efficient choice.
