A replacement solution has been implemented so that you can continue printing documents from G.J. Software 5.0. Here\u2019s a summary of what has changed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Google Cloud Print will stop functioning after December 31st.<\/li><li>A new Print option is available under <strong>Setup &gt; System Variables &gt; Printers<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Once selected documents will no longer be sent straight to the printer and users will be prompted to download and print the .PDF document.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s impacted&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All offices and users in all regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional details&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously documents were sent from the G.J. Software to the Google Cloud Print service, which then sent the document to a printer of your choosing. Now you will be prompted to download the document as a .PDF file and then you will need to print the file through your computer\u2019s print dialogue. This change will apply to the following functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Printing Job Progress, Supervisor&#8217;s Schedule, and Vendor Reports from the <strong>File<\/strong> menu in <em>Construction Schedules<\/em>.<\/li><li>Producing <em>Variations <\/em>from the Job menu.<\/li><li>Producing <em>Job Orders<\/em> from the Job menu.<\/li><li>Producing <em>EoM Reports<\/em> from the Manager menu.<\/li><li>Creating a Manual Journal for <em>WIP Profit Adjustments<\/em> from the Manager menu.<\/li><li><em>Making a Claim\/Draw <\/em>from the Accounting menu.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If documents are set to be printed and not emailed, those documents will be combined into a single .PDF file. A dialogue will then appear prompting the user to download the file, which they can then print from their native PC or Mac print dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"727\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png 727w, https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-50x26.png 50w, https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-16x8.png 16w, https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-60x32.png 60w, https:\/\/help.gjgardner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-100x53.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon\">Documents will continue to be generated and saved to the designated location in Google Drive, e.g. Job Orders will still be saved to Job Docs &gt; Orders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As some files take longer to combine than others. For example, 100 job orders will take longer to combine than 3 job orders.
