Accolent ERP is integrated with PrintNode, a third-party, enterprise-grade, Cloud Printing solution. We strongly recommend you use PrintNode to manage printing from Accolent ERP, which runs in the AWS Public Cloud, to your on-premises printers. At one time we also supported Google Cloud Print, but Google has since dropped support for Google Cloud Print.
