Recommendation on whether or not dedicated NPrinting server is needed for Qlik Sense?

[jblomqvist]

Hi,

We use one of the latest 2020 Qlik Sense versions.

We would like to use NPrinting however we cannot find any info on whether a dedicated server for NPrinting is recommended.

What is the recommendation on NPrinting server installation? Is a dedicated server recommended for it?

Hi,

check below link where it is confirmed that installing Qlik Sense and Nprinting on same server is not supported configuration. Which means that you need a dedicated server for Nprinting.

• Qlik NPrinting Engine and Server and Qlik Sense Server should not be installed on the same computer.

There are no known incompatibilities between these two products, but in a production environment, Qlik NPrinting should be installed on a separate computer (virtual or physical) from Qlik Sense because Qlik NPrinting Engine and Server will consume all the available resources of the computer they are installed on. This may lead to Qlik Sense crashing because of lack of resources.
