Submitting jobs using the Android native print function

The PMC mobile app supports Native Print, allowing you to print directly from any Android app that supports printing (such as Chrome, PDF viewers, document editors, and more) to your PMC print queues. This feature integrates the PMC app with Android's built-in print system, making it easy to print from anywhere on your device.

First-Time Setup

  1. Sign In: Make sure you are signed in to the PMC app. If you're not signed in, you'll see a "⚠️ Sign in to use" message when trying to print.

  2. Add a Print Queue:

    • When you first try to print, if you have exactly one secure print queue available, it will be automatically added for you.

    • If you have multiple queues or no queues deployed, you'll need to select a print queue:

      • Open Android Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences → Printing

      • Find the PMC print service

      • Tap on it and select "Add printer" (or tap the printer that shows "Select a print queue")

      • Choose the print queue you want to use

  3. Verify Your Printer: After adding a print queue, it will appear as an available printer when you print from other apps.
