BJ Freeman commented on OFBIZ-3913:
-----------------------------------
some thoughts.
there will be times that the admin will want to fix which printers a party
(login) uses. so a screen to allow that. maybe linking to the loggin's
PartPreference would possibly be a better way.
the ExternalDevice should be updated before accessing the
ExternalDeviceUserAction, since network failures can cause printer to be
offline.
is the ExternalDevice type to define like a HPlaser, if so then need a
externalDevicejobtype for like Invoices, PO. and this needs to be one to many
incase they use one printer for many tasks. t
also need the info about how many pages are printed so a restart will pick up
on the last page and continue.
leave a hook for automatically switching printers if two of the same type Job
type are defined, and the first goes offline.

> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Nicolas Malin
> Attachments: ExternalDevice.patch, ExternalDevice.png
>
>
> Following a thread on the dev list, related to a printer automated selection,
> by an user and an event, here is a first draft.
> I added a new entity, ExternalDevice, which list all devices OFBiz can reach
> (and the associated command). This entity is related to an ExternalDeviceType
> and each record has a status, so we know if the device is available, out of
> order, in maintenance, waiting, etc...
> Then I added another entity, ExternalDeviceUserAction, which defines a device
> for an user, and/or an action through Enumeration. Finally, I added a service
> which find the commnand to execute based on an action and/or an user.
