Printing with DocumentsCorePack

This article outlines the extensive printing capabilities that DocumentsCorePack (DCP) provides for the Power Platform and Dynamics 365. Once configured, you can access printers from Power Automate, Dynamics 365 or your PowerApp.

Along with the integration of three major cloud print providers, our solution comes with options to utilize local printers as well.

Please note: It is not possible to use both a cloud print provider and a local printer for a specific Dynamics 365 organization.

Cloud Print – Integration

The following step-by-step guides illustrate how to configure printers via the respective provider.

Local printing Service/Application

DCP comes with two native options to configure printers:

1. 1. Print Service: The service allows us to expose network printers to be available for printing via DCP. It comes with proper print service management and logging capabilities to handle multiple printers and high print volumes. The service should be deployed on dedicated print servers to ensure access and availability.

   2. Print Application: This application allows you to define and enable printing on “personal” printers (for example, attached to your computer or laptop only) and is intended for small local printer installations.
      It does not work on servers with multiple printers.
