Seeking assistance with enabling direct printing to local printers from BC On-Premise. We aim to replicate the functionality from old NAV. Any insights or experiences with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there Mohamed - the issue with direct printing via the web client is different than the old role-tailored client. In the middle there is a web browser and a lot of browsers don’t allow directly printing from a web application to a printer. With that in mind though there are ways around this:

1. Utilize e-mail printers in BC: [Set Up Email Printers - Business Central | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/admin-printer-setup-email)

2. Universal Printers: This is a Microsoft solution where you connect your on-premise printers to Azure and then integrate them with Business Central : [Set Up Universal Print Printers - Business Central | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/admin-printer-setup-universal-print)

3. Use a 3rd party add-on or ISV: ForNAV offers a print utility that you can utilize (similar to Universal Print). It installs a service on your print server which then syncs the printers up to Business Central.

The three above options do offer a more seamless printing experience.
