Print directly from FE NXT

Very time consuming and cumbersome to save pdf (which takes the time to generate the report again) and then export in order to print. Please enable printing directly from FE NXT

    Generating an intermediate PDF file of checks opens the possibility of fraud. The PDF can be modified and the changes would not be reflected in the actual database.


    Also if there is a problem when the check PDF is being printed, there is no confirmation that the checks were printed successfully like there is in DBview.

    I use Firefox in Windows, and Ctrl+P works for everything - reports, checks, screenshots, etc. Firefox will also open a PDF file without having to save it first, and I can print those the same way too.

    I believe the ability to print is a security issue. Bad actors were using print drivers as a way to attack the system.

    I also request you reconsider your status change decision. The current process is extremely cumbersome.

    Especially annoying when the query or report itself takes a while to load and then the green notification field that indicates the report is available can vanish in seconds so the lag time cannot be used to do something else while waiting for the report to (finally) generate. Yes, remove the deceptive/useless Print button.

    Disappointing that there are over 300 votes and they will not implement!

    Are you never going to change nxt so we can use the PRINT BUTTON! How frustrating this is!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is there even a print option? This nxt really just adds more clicks, time for the users. It is especially annoying when FE was such a good program and user friendly. nxt has brought us back nothing is easier or quicker. NOTHING

    It would also be helpful to add .CSV as an option as an alternative to using queries.

    Please provide an export to EXCEL that has correct formatting. (Not pdf)

    Time consuming to reformat cells to be able to add formulas that will work.

    Why have the button if the button doesn't work? Either make the button work, or get rid of it.

    Printing is a browser restriction from Edge.

    Yes, and there are some areas where you can print directly. Why the difference? Make ALL reports printable right from FENXT. Saving as PDF just adds more time to my workflow - especially when I have 20-30 reports to run.

    Control P does work somewhat, but I find the quality is somewhat lacking. Please implement the idea that the user has submitted.

    Thank you both!! That advice was so helpful! I wish F. Edge would tell you to use Firefox or to enter Ctrl+P/Ctrl+S, it would make users lives much easier then having to figure it all out through creativity.

    this works if you use firefox.

    I thought this was the only way of printing too...you'd get the "browser printing issue" any time you hit the "print" button at the bottom of the screen. But if you click into the body of the report on the preview screen and click "ctrl+P" it will print directly from your browser without having to download. N
