Last Updated: July 10, 2026
PrinterLogic Output provides organizations the modern tools and automation necessary to ensure output from any system gets to where it needs to go, in the format it needs to be in. PrinterLogic Output is licensed per print queue. With the Vasion platform, you can unify end user print and your large-scale applications or high-volume printing for centralized management.
Key Points

- Stabilization of the print environment to ensure critical business processes are seamlessly supported and uninterrupted.
- Adaptability and flexibility to work with legacy mainframe and similar systems and ensure documents are delivered as expected.
- Virtual Appliance Output supports conversion between PDF, PS, PCL5, PCLXL, and XPS formats, with additional output-only support for ZPL and ESC/POS, and can pass jobs through without conversion when the originating system has already formatted them for the destination printer.
- Includes a growing number of tools to simplify your Output environment. For more details refer to Additional Options.
How PrinterLogic Output Works
We have three different ways that we can receive print jobs or documents from our customers.
- LPD A legacy print protocol pair for submitting and receiving print jobs over a network. Line Printer Remote (LPR) is the client component that submits jobs; LPD is the server component that receives and processes them. LPR and LPD use port 515 by default. service.

- Via the API print service A PrinterLogic Output connector that lets source systems send print jobs through web requests rather than traditional print queues or drivers. Running on a Service Agent, the API Print Service accepts representational state transfer (RESTful) API calls so apps that do not natively support printing can still print..
- Via the IPP / IPPS protocol.
We first look inside of the print data that we've received to try to find a user that is matches a user in Virtual Appliance. Then we tie that print job to that particular user. Once that's done, the print job it is going to benefit from the user identification in the Virtual Appliance solution, ranging from secure release or reporting or any other similar features.
We then perform an analysis of the data to determine the attributes of the file, and then make a decision on what's going to happen to that file in the most basic sense. We can send a file directly to a printer and have it printed, or we could use secure release printing, which holds the print job until the user walks up and releases that job using a badge, QR code, or other supported release mechanism.
Virtual Appliance Output supports connections to SAP's on-premises and private cloud version editions.

PrinterLogic Outputis licensed per print queue. You will need additional licensing to access additional features like Secure Release and Off-Network Printing.
As a PrinterLogic Output customer, you will already have a functional Service Agent and printer configured. From there, you must secure a digital certificate issued by a reputable Certificate Authority (CA), recognized and trusted by the system or application you are connecting to the Output Service.
For additional information on API Print Serviceprerequisites, refer to .
The API Print Service runs on the PrinterLogic Output Service on a Windows or Debian Linux server either on-premise or in your cloud instance. This allows the API Print Service to reach your source application and printers unless Off-Network Print is utilized. This back-end configuration is flexible to your environment’s requirements to function seamlessly with your existing systems and processes.
