How to print bar code from Microsoft PowerApp


I'm working on a PowerApp which need to generate and print the barcodes. Currently, I've generated barcodes using web API which is returning me the barcode as a PNG image. Now, need to print this barcode from printer. I search much on this and couldn't find the solution yet , I found some posts like https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Ideas/Printing/idi-p/846 , saying that printing is not available now. But, it is a old post, I need the latest update on printing and when it will be available. Also please let me know any other way around to achieve printing from the PowerApp, so I could instantly print the barcodes.


Solution

  • Its not a way to directly print, but you could:

    • Use Flow to call the barcode API and convert the .png to .pdf using the OneDrive Actions

    • Use Flow to call the bacrcode API and convert the .png to .pnf then email it to user so they can print.

    Hope this helps!
