Community and Enterprise
The problem
Three reasons Odoo does not reach your receipt printer.
Printing a ticket looks like the simplest thing in the system, until Odoo stops being on the same network as the printer.
01
Odoo is in the cloud
The server lives in a data center and the printer in your shop. Without a bridge Odoo cannot see it, and opening ports or tunnels is a risk nobody wants to maintain.
02
It depends on the browser
Printing from the browser needs certificates, permissions and an open tab. An automatic process, like a ticket when clocking in, has no browser.
03
Closed hardware and editions
The usual options ask for a dedicated box, a specific printer brand or the Enterprise edition. Your current printer is left out.
How it works
An agent next to the printer, connected to Odoo in real time.
It runs on any PC or server on your network. Odoo queues the job and the agent prints it right away.
- Agent mode
- For Odoo in the cloud. The agent keeps the Odoo notification connection open and picks up each job in under a second. No open ports, no tunnels.
- Local mode
- For Odoo installed on your own network. Odoo sends each job straight to the agent.
- From the browser
- For the point of sale in the shop. The browser sends the ticket to the agent over the local network, with the Local Network Access check Odoo already has.
- Without a browser
- Server processes print on their own: a canteen ticket when clocking in, a document when an order is confirmed. Nobody needs Odoo open.

FAQ
Common questions before installing.
Does it work with my receipt printer?
If it is a thermal printer that speaks ESC/POS, yes: that is the vast majority, of any brand. It can be connected by USB or over the network.
Do I need Odoo Enterprise?
No. Dooprint works with Odoo 19 Community and Enterprise. It uses neither the IoT Box nor Enterprise modules.
My Odoo is in the cloud. Do I have to open ports?
No. In agent mode the device itself connects to Odoo and receives jobs in real time. There are no ports to open and no tunnels on your network.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Jobs wait in the Odoo queue. When the device is back it picks them up; those past the timeout are marked as failed and can be retried.
Can it print without Odoo open?
Yes. Any server process can print: for example, a canteen ticket when an employee clocks in.
Is it open source?
The agent is published on GitHub, with its code, its releases and the installers for Windows and Linux.
Which computer do I install it on?
Any PC with Windows 10 or 11, or a Linux server, on the same network as the printers. It runs as a background service and starts with the computer.
Try it with your own printer.
