Using Cloud Printing With OneSource
- Click Print
- Select Email PDF
- Print
- Outlook will open a blank email with the PDF attached
- Type in the E-Printers email address
- Send
- You must have Microsoft Outlook open before printing
- You Must have A PDF Writer like BullZip installed and set as the default PDF Printer on the Global tab of Company Setup & Preferences
- You Need to have Adobe Reader installed prior to printing so you can view the PDF
Printing from a cloud server is different then printing from your local server or computer because the printer is not physically connected to the cloud server. There are 3 components that make this work #1 the server where OneSource is located, #2 Bullzip PDF Printer and #3 Adobe Reader.
#1) Open the Company Setup and Preferences in OneSource > Global tab and make sure that Bullzip is the default PDF Printer. Then open the Reports tab and select Email or PDF for the default print method for each item that you print. The Email setting will automatically attach the PDF to an email so it can be sent to your ePrinter and a customer at the same time if needed. The PDF setting will simply create the PDF which would then require you to click on the envelope in the tool bar to attach it to an email.
#2 Bullzip is the PDF printing program that creates and attache the PDF to the email. Understanding the options menu in Bullzip will help you customize your printing experience. You can access the Bullzip menu option by going to: Start > All Programs > Bullzip > PDF Printer > Options.
- General tab > File Name field, type C:\OneSource\PDF\report.pdf (It needs to be this exact path).
- Dialogs tab > click ‘Never’ option (in both of the 'Save As - Dialog' and ‘Settings – Dialog’ sections).
- Actions
tab > click ‘Yes’ option (in ‘Show Document’ section). This will
make the PDF Appear so you can see what is being attached to the email.
If you prefer to not see it and just want it attached to the Email
Choose "No"
- Note:
If you selected Email in the Company Setup and Preferences (CS&P)
then selecting "No" here may be your best selection as the PDF will be
automatically attached to the email and you could open it from there if
you wanted to see it. If you selected PDF in the CS&P then you will want to select Yes here so the PDF will appear.
- Click ‘Apply’ button and then the ‘OK’ button.
#3) Adobe Reader: If you do not have Adobe Reader or (another PDF reader) Installed then you will not be able to see the PDF that was created.

Trouble Shooting Cloud Printing
If you click Print and nothing happens then you need
to make sure that Outlook is open and that you can open Adobe Reader from the
start menu. Check that Bullzip is the default printer by opening the Start menu
and clicking Printers and Faxes then Right click on Bullzip Printer and set as the
default Printer. Then go to the Tools menu in OneSource and open the Company
Setup and Preferences Global tab and check to make sure that Bullzip is the
default PDF printer in OneSource. Now check the following:
- When you tried to print did you use the correct ePrint email
address
- When in OneSource and you clicked Print PDF – Was the PDF Created?
(If so OneSource and Bullzip and Adobe Reader all did their parts)
- Once the PDF was created did you attach it to and email by clicking
on the envelope? (Not necessary if you have email selected in the Company Setup and Preferences Reports Tab).
- Did an email with the attached Document Open?
- Put in the correct email address and click Send
- Did you get a message from donotreply@hpeprint.com
- It would look something like this
Thank you for using HP's
ePrint service. Your print job has been received and prepared for printing.
If the job does not print,
make sure:
1. The printer's email
address was entered correctly 2. The printer is online, and 3. You have
permission to use the printer.
Please note that a print job might be delayed by
slow email delivery or a slow Internet connection.
Once you click Print, OneSource sends the job to
Bullzip where the PDF is created and then Adobe reader opens it so you can see
it. With Adobe reader Open click on the envelope and then on the right side
click Attach and this will open the email screen with your report attached to
it. At this point OneSource, Bullzip and Adobe Reader have all completed their jobs
and now it’s up to Outlook and your printer to finish. If outlook sends the
email then it’s a printer issue or a printer setup issue.
