PrintNodeConnect - Setup
Setup
PrintNodeConnect requires a one-time configuration to establish a secure connection between Business Central and the PrintNode cloud service.
-
Open the PrintNodeConnect Setup page
Here you enter the authentication information needed to authorize Business Central with PrintNode:-
Tenant ID
-
Client ID
-
Client Secret
This information is obtained from your PrintNode tenant and created through your PrintNode admin portal.
-
-
Test the connection
After entering the credentials, you can validate that the integration is working correctly.
Printers
From the Printers page, you can:
-
Retrieve printers already created in your PrintNode environment
-
Refresh the printer list
-
Perform a test print to ensure communication between Business Central and PrintNode is functioning as expected
Printers retrieved from PrintNode can be mapped directly for Business Central printing.
Using PrintNodeConnect
PrintNodeConnect works through Business Central’s built-in system printing functions.
After setup, developers or advanced users can send print jobs programmatically from their own code by using the standard Report.Print() or Report.RunRequestPage() patterns, routed automatically through PrintNode.
The module does not change printing behavior for standard reports unless configured to do so; it simply provides a cloud-ready print path via PrintNode.
Troubleshooting
Common issues can typically be resolved by:
-
Verifying that the OAuth credentials are correct
-
Refreshing the printer list from the Printers page
-
Testing the connection and test-printing a small document
-
Ensuring the PrintNode tenant allows API access
If problems persist, your PrintNode tenant logs can provide additional details about rejected or blocked print operations.
