BJ Freeman commented on OFBIZ-3913:
-----------------------------------

some thoughts.
there will be times that the admin will want to fix which printers a party (login) uses. so a screen to allow that. maybe linking to the loggin's PartPreference would possibly be a better way.


the ExternalDevice should be updated before accessing the ExternalDeviceUserAction, since network failures can cause printer to be offline.

is the ExternalDevice type to define like a HPlaser, if so then need a externalDevicejobtype for like Invoices, PO. and this needs to be one to many incase they use one printer for many tasks. t

also need the info about how many pages are printed so a restart will pick up on the last page and continue.

leave a hook for automatically switching printers if two of the same type Job type are defined, and the first goes offline.

> Following a thread on the dev list, related to a printer automated selection, by an user and an event, here is a first draft.
> I added a new entity, ExternalDevice, which list all devices OFBiz can reach (and the associated command). This entity is related to an ExternalDeviceType and each record has a status, so we know if the device is available, out of order, in maintenance, waiting, etc...
> Then I added another entity, ExternalDeviceUserAction, which defines a device for an user, and/or an action through Enumeration. Finally, I added a service which find the commnand to execute based on an action and/or an user.
