Printer Client

The MPH WMS Printer Client is a desktop application that connects your physical printers to the WMS. It lets you print shipping labels, pick lists, and other documents directly from the web interface - no manual downloads needed.

How it works

Web app → Print job created → SSE stream → Printer Client → Physical printer

1. You click Print in the web app (e.g., on a shipment or pick list)
2. A print job is created and queued on the server
3. The Printer Client receives the job via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
4. The document is sent to the selected physical printer
5. The job status is reported back to the server
