This page shows you how to print full pages, such as invoices and packing slips, on an office [printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer) from the [BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-android-app). It is for merchants who use an Android phone or tablet as their BizPrint [station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station) and want to print on Letter or A4 paper. ## Choose how to print The app offers two ways to print to an office printer: | | **Full-page printer (enter address)** | **Android print dialog** | | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Works with | Printers that support IPP, AirPrint or Mopria | Any printer the Android print dialog on your device can print to | | How jobs print | Automatically, as soon as they arrive | Someone taps **Print** on the device for each job | | Good for | A printer that prints orders without anyone at the device | A printer you can only reach through Android’s own printing, when someone is at the device | Use **Full-page printer (enter address)** whenever your printer supports it. Use **Android print dialog** only when someone is always at the device to tap **Print**. ## Before you start - Update the BizPrint Android app from Google Play to the latest version. - Install and connect the app to your station. See [Install and connect the BizPrint Android app to your station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/install-android-app/). - Load the printer with paper and turn it on. - For a full-page printer: - Connect the printer to the same Wi-Fi or network as the Android device. - Check that the printer supports IPP, AirPrint or Mopria. The printer’s documentation or box tells you. - Find out the printer’s IP address. Most office printers show it on their display or on a network settings page they can print. Ask the person who manages your network to give the printer a fixed (static) IP address, so it does not change. - For the Android print dialog: - Check that you can print to the printer from another app on the device, for example a PDF from your files. - Allow notifications for BizPrint, so the app can tell you when a job is waiting while the app is in the background. ## Add a full-page printer The app looks for printers when you open the **Add printer** screen. An office printer that it finds shows **Prints full pages** in its second line. If your printer is listed, add it from the list. If not, add it by its address. ### Add it from the list 1. Open the BizPrint app. 2. Tap **Add printer** under **Printers** on the main screen. The **Add printer** screen opens and starts looking for printers. 3. Tap your printer under **Found**. 4. Type a name in **Printer name**, for example “Office”. BizPrint shows this name in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard) and in your [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location). 5. Tap **Continue**. The app prints a test page. The test page is not an order. 6. Look at the printer. 7. Tap **Yes** under **Did it print?**. The printer page opens. If you pick a network printer from the list and the app shows **This printer prints full pages.**, tap **Set up for full pages** to add it as a full-page printer. ### Add it by its address 1. Open the BizPrint app. 2. Tap **Add printer** under **Printers** on the main screen. 3. Tap **Full-page printer (enter address)** under **Don’t see your printer?**. The **Add printer** form opens with **Full-page printer (enter address)** selected. 4. Type a name in **Name**, for example “Office”. 5. Type the printer’s IP address in **IP address**. 6. Leave **Port** and **Path** empty, unless your printer’s documentation gives different ones. They are optional: the fields show the usual values, and the app uses those when you leave them empty. 7. Tap **Add printer**. The printer page opens. 8. Tap **Test print**. The test page is not an order. 9. Look at the printer. ## Add the Android print dialog 1. Open the BizPrint app. 2. Tap **Add printer** under **Printers** on the main screen. 3. Tap **Android print dialog** under **Don’t see your printer?**. Its second line says **Pick the printer each time a job prints**. 4. Type a name in **Name**, for example “Office”. 5. Tap **Add printer**. The printer page opens. 6. Tap **Test print**. The Android print dialog opens. 7. Choose your printer in the print dialog. 8. Tap **Print**. ## Choose the paper size 1. Tap the printer under **Printers** on the main screen of the app. 2. Tap **Paper** under **Paper and output**. 3. Choose **Letter**, **A4** or **Custom**. If you chose **Custom**, also enter the width and the height of your paper: 1. Tap **Custom paper width (mm)**. 2. Type the width of your paper in millimetres. 3. Tap **OK**. 4. Tap **Advanced**. 5. Tap **Paper height (mm)**. 6. Type the height of your paper in millimetres. 7. Tap **OK**. To print in landscape, tap **Advanced**, then tap **Orientation** and choose **Landscape**. **Auto** follows the orientation of the job. For more settings, see [Change paper, cut and layout settings for a printer in the BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/android-printer-settings/). ## How jobs print with the Android print dialog With **Android print dialog**, each job waits for someone at the device. When a job arrives, the Android print dialog opens on the device. If the app is in the background, a notification says **Tap to print** and the job name. Tap the notification to open the print dialog. Then: 1. Choose the printer in the dialog. 2. Tap **Print**. If several jobs arrive, their print dialogs open one at a time, in the order the jobs arrived. If you cancel the dialog, the job shows **Print cancelled**. If nobody taps **Print** in time, the job fails with a message such as **No one tapped Print within 10 minutes**. To give staff more or less time: 1. Open the printer page. 2. Tap **Advanced**. 3. Tap **Tap to print wait (minutes)** under **Print dialog**. 4. Type a number from 1 to 60. The default is 10. If notifications are off for BizPrint, the print dialog opens the next time the app is on screen. ## Set up the printer location in WooCommerce If you use the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce), choose the office printer in a printer location. See [Set up a WooCommerce printer location for an Android station with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/android-printer-location/). These tips help with full pages: - Full-page [templates](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#template) such as **Invoice**, **Packing Slip**, **Delivery Note** and **Pick List** suit Letter and A4 paper. - Choose **HTML** in **Output Format** to print your logo and the template’s layout. - Office printers start with **Page size from job** on the printer’s **Advanced** page set to **Use the job page size when sent**, so the location’s **Layout Size** is used. To always print on the paper set in **Paper** in the app, set **Page size from job** to **Use printer settings**. - Office printers print on the sheet with their own layout. Margins from the app or the location’s **Custom Margins** do not apply. - The number of copies set on the location is printed. ## Check before you send a test order A **Test print** from a WooCommerce printer location prints a real order again. Before you send one, do these checks so you do not print an order twice: 1. Look at the printer’s output tray for the order’s printout. 2. Check that the printer has paper, shows no error, and is not in the middle of a real order. 3. Check the [print job status](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-status) of the latest [print jobs](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job) in the BizPrint dashboard. See [View print jobs and their status in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-jobs/). 4. Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing, whatever status the job shows. With **Android print dialog**, this includes any job still waiting for someone to tap **Print**. Then follow [Send a test print from a BizPrint printer location in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/test-print/). **Test print** on the printer page in the app prints the app’s own test page, not an order, so it needs none of these checks. ## Related pages - [Add a printer to the BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/android-add-printer/) - [Change paper, cut and layout settings for a printer in the BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/android-printer-settings/) - [Choose a BizPrint template for WooCommerce printouts](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/choose-a-template/) - [Fix common problems with the BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/troubleshooting/android-app/) Need help?
