Pull Print

Last Updated: October 08, 2026

Pull Print is a one-to-many option for secure print. When the user sends a job to a pull printer, it remains in a virtual queue on the device until the user authenticates and releases the job to a pull print-enabled printer.

Type 4 drivers do not work with TCP / IP printer objects with PrinterLogic because they turn off port monitoring, which the app needs. If a TCP / IP printer uses a Type 4 driver, it might cause printing issues. However, USB and software printers, such as Adobe and Microsoft XPS, can still use Type 4 drivers without problems.
