I have a workflow that is manipulating a file and storing it to a network location. I'd also like to send a copy of the file to a network printer. Is there a way that I can sent a file to print on a device automatically using a UNC path or the IP address of the printer? I suppose I saw this working by 1) sending to folder that is the UNC path of the printer, b) using an execute command to print the file, or c) using some type of script to push the file to the printer.
Honestly, I've never experimented with this before so I'm not sure it's even possible, but wanted to see if anyone is doing anything similar or had any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Send file to Printer in a Flow
For us, the easiest solution was using "FTP Send" to send the pdf to the printer.
As it turns out, all HP Laserjet printers have FTP printing. You just have to enable it.
You can then use "FTP Send" to send the pdf to the printer with anonymous login.
Check if your printer has support for this.
