Printing a Drop Box Share URL Document with Print-Node

Hi Guys

 

How do you print a drop box document using Print-Node

 

I keep getting 302 redirects and wondering how do we get the real real document that is printable?

 

Any help?

    Hey Keep Innovations, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Are you trying to print a document you received through a Dropbox shared link?

     

    Have you tried downloading the document to your computer and printing the downloaded copy, to see if that works?

     

    Keep me posted.

    Hi Hannah

     

    Thanks for the feedback

     

    I am actually trying to print drop box documents through the Print-Node API and I simply want to get the document, pass it on to Print-Node

     

    Its for a project I am working on

    Thanks for the update, Keep Innovations.

     

    Since Dropbox doesn't have a way of doing this automatically, you might want to look into whether PrintNode has a way to import files from other apps/services.

     

    You can definitely check with their support as well, and of course, I will leave this thread open, in case another user has some experience with using PrintNode with Dropbox, that might be able to help you.
