Porteus

Hi! I'm using porteus kiosks on Linux machines and want totally disable print preview window. Is there any way to do it?
Silent print option doesn't work.

Hello opr108,

Silent printing does work in kiosk. Are you using 5.4.0 version?

Please provide your kiosk config (remove sensitive data from it).

Thanks

Hello! I'm using 4.9.0 version

Silent printing was fixed in kiosk 5.1.0:

So you need to upgrade your clients to at least this version.

Thanks

Thank you for the information! BTW is there any guide for upgrade?

You need to reinstall the client and point it to your remote kiosk config.
Thats all.

Thanks

It is said the bug was fixed for Mozilla. What about Chrome? We are using chrome

Just checked and silent printing works well on kiosk 4.9.0 + Chrome.

Thanks

Well what could be wrong then? Could you show the config?

Silent print means no preview window in any case? Maybe I'm wrong about that

"Silent print means no preview window in any case?"
Yes

"Well what could be wrong then?"
You are probably loading a different config than you think.
Or maybe you have customized the ISO manually and broke some kiosk functions.
Or maybe you are using Firefox and not Chrome.
Hard to guess ...

Silent printing works for me and for other kiosk users. Something is wrong on your side (human error).
