Print With the App
Last Updated: April 07, 2026
You can print immediately to your installed printers using the device's native functions. Print jobs sent to pull or secure release printers are held and released by the user using the PrinterLogic app or another release mechanism.
The mobile app feeds metadata from the print jobs into the Admin Console so it's included in the applicable reports.

Troubleshooting Help
If held print jobs are not visible in the mobile app make sure the end users are logged into the client on the workstation and that is the same user credentials that are being used to log into the mobile app.
If your environment uses complex FDQNA fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for a specific computer or host on the internet. The FQDN consists of the hostname and domain name. names on your printers, iOS considers having the complex names with a self-signed certificate an unsafe connection for IPP / IPPS requests. To confirm this is the issue, check your logs for the following error from the printer or server: "Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1200".
The solution is to install the root certificate for the used domain on the device. See iOS Printing Fails with -1200 Error..
Most commonly this is because when you printed from your workstation, you selected a specific printer to print to. Depending on how your environment is configured, it is assumed you are performing a secure print function, and want to print to that specific printer. If this is the case, go to the selected printer and either select the Print Release
option, or if configured, scan the QR code
option.
Although held print jobs generally show up on the app very quickly, depending on your network, a print job may take a short period of time to show in the app. Sometimes you may need swipe down on the print release screen to refresh.
Another consideration is how long it has been since you printed the job. As a default, held print jobs are only kept for 12 hours before being purged. This setting can be modified to be shorter or longer by the application administrator. Confirm with them on what this time is set to.
- Open the PrinterLogic app on the device that needs log information.
- Select the App icon
from the app header. - Select the Settings button
. -
Tap the toggle to enable event logging.
-
On the Enable Logging modal select Start.
Enable Event Logging for print release to assist you with troubleshooting efforts. Only the app details are logged and should only be turned on for the time necessary to gather the needed information, since the log data is stored on the device.
Only one log is stored on the device at a time. So when logging is enabled again, the previous log information is replaced with the new log.
You'll receive a notification after 4 hours if logging is still enabled. Select Stop Log to disable Event Logging.
When the user launches the app and selects a print job, printers that are available for that job appear automatically. They are determined by IT or were added by the user. For Secure Printing, the job may be assigned to a specific printer, in which case only that printer will appear. For pull printing, users see all the pull print enabled printers they have access to.
Unlike the traditional Vasion PrintClient found on end user workstations, the mobile app does not automatically update itself. To see new changes to configurations or deployments, you must open the app to the Printers screen, and pull down to refresh it.
