Direct printer spooling
QuestPDF on the desktop sends receipts and invoices to an office printer without a browser print dialog.
What this feature does
The desktop sends receipts and invoices to an office printer without a browser print dialog. The page is a vector receipt, so a thermal or laser printer gets a sharp bill.
The phone and the portal still make a PDF. They do not spool the printer themselves.
Direct printer spooling is on the Desktop. It is not on the Mobile app, Web portal, and Website.
