Compared to the web app, the native app offers these advantages: Only sign in once and Integrated QR code scanning. A Printix App for iOS is also available.
- Normally, if the destination printer supports PDF, documents printed through Printix for Chromebook and print anywhere documents, are sent directly to the printer. Now you can check the new print queue setting Process PDF to force the document to be processed according to the print queue’s print driver configuration and thereby finishing options.
