Cloud Printing

I have a flow that creates personalized thank you notes and envelopes using data from SharePoint online. I was passing the files to PAD to print but Microsoft is currently trying to figure out why PAD isn't working on my PC anymore. So now, I'm in the hunt for a way to cloud print. I tried PrintNode but it doesn't print Word documents and when I convert the docx to a pdf it loses the page size and prints everything on letter size paper. I'm currently trying to figure out ezeep Blue, but it has some requirements like redirect_uri that I'm not sure what to do with. Does anyone have a solution to my printing problem?

Hi @Aimthedame

Apologies, I am not sure of the ask.

I understand PAD isn't working and that stinks, seems like a lot of people are having issues,. but what are you asking us to do?

This is the power automate cloud, are you asking us to help you build a flow that will print to a service? I truly just want to make sure.

How would this get triggered? Manually?

When you say print, is it like email it to someone, or.. print it in a printer format, or like my Epson has cloud printing, you want to print to your printer?

Cheers

This is one of my test flows in cloud Power Automate. I'm getting the file content from my SharePoint (cloud) list and creating a file. This creates the correct size document when I view it. I've also used the Populate a MS Word action with the same result. If I convert it to a pdf file using actions from Adobe or Microsoft, the document views/prints as letter size. Am I missing a step in the process? If I'm not missing a step in my flow then I need to find a way to print to my network printer that doesn't require converting the document to a pdf. As far as I know, the only way to print currently is using a service like PrintNode or Universal Print (wish I had access). PrintNode works great but it requires a pdf which is not saving the correct page size.
