Introduction
The Direct To Print module for Odoo gives you full flexibility in handling PDF reports by offering three main actions: print, view (open), or download. Instead of always downloading a PDF and then printing it manually, this module lets users send the report straight to a connected printer via the browser. You can also configure default behavior per report so that users rarely need to choose an action manually. It simplifies report handling and accelerates workflows.
Key Features
Send PDF reports directly to printer from browser (without manual download)
Open report in new browser tab for viewing instead of downloading immediately
Download the PDF to local device when needed
Configure default action (print / open / download) on a per-report basis
Clean modal UI to let users select the desired action if no default is set
Compatible with modern web browsers and adapts to standard report workflows
Benefits
Accelerates printing operations by eliminating unnecessary steps
Reduces friction and errors in report distribution
Allows automatic behavior tailored per report so users don’t constantly choose an action
Improves usability in audit, accounting, and reporting workflows
Maintains flexibility—users can always override defaults when needed
