Hi All,

I've got a relatively simple project though I'm not sure whats the best practice for executing it. We want a checkbox on transaction records that becomes checked when a user prints the record. I couldn't do this with a workflow and I don't think I can add event listeners to the default print action – Which leads me to think I should create a custom button "Print Transaction" that can check the checkbox and calls the default print action. I would also have to hide the default print action to ensure the custom button will always trigger it. I'm thinking that I need to create a user event script to create the button and a client script that calls a suitelet on click. The suitelet would mark the checkbox as T and make the html call to print the transaction. I'm not sure how to make the html call though.

Does this sound like the right approach?

I do this for custom print jobs on custom records. Looks like you could probably get away with using the nlapiPrintRecord()

At the end of your suitelet, you could call something like this perhaps?

Code:
var file = nlapiPrintRecord(type , id , format , properties );
response.write( file.getValue() );

Take a look at this SA article about logging when a transaction is printed.

You can set a Workflow Event Type to Print, and let a script do the rest.

Similar to Mark Derrick, User Event Script also has a type = print functionality which can be found in SuiteCloud (Customization, Scripting, and Web Services) > SuiteScript 1.0 > Understanding SuiteScript Script Types > User Event Scripts > User Event Script Execution Types in Help
