After I found this guide that explain how to save the attachmend to Google Drive: [ www.labnol.org/internet/send-gmail-to-google-drive/21236/](https://www.labnol.org/internet/send-gmail-to-google-drive/21236/) And after how to print automatically the file with a Google Drive compatible Printer: [ zapier.com/apps/google-cloud-print/integ...h-google-cloud-print](https://zapier.com/apps/google-cloud-print/integrations/google-drive/9579/print-files-from-google-drive-automatically-with-google-cloud-print) This is an option, but jutst to know is not possible to print the PDF directly to the default printer? I know how to do this out of the browser but I don`t know if is possible to automatize this in a browser web page.

Thank you for your support")* Hi, To the default printer ? A web server is normally not connected directly to a printer. I've never seen it in fact, unless it's a local web server on your own computer. Also, there is no default PHP API to talk to a printer that would be connected to your server. It requires going through a system program call: [ stackoverflow.com/questions/31174998/php...directory-to-printer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31174998/php-print-files-in-directory-to-printer) So technically, you could achieve it as a custom solution provided that your printer is connected to your web server but that's not something you could have as a generic option or plugin for HikaShop.
