Description-

  • Beginning from Nprinting 17.1.1.0, Nprinting can send emails to recipients even when the email server is configured with users with encrypted passwords.
  • using gmail account may not work initially because gmail has a security setting which stops nprinting from sending emails to recipients.

Cause-

Gmail security setting

Resolution-

First set up Nprinting email settings.

Navigate to the following page in Nprinting to set up the email server, on Nprinting Management console clock on Admin --> Settings --> Email Settings

  • Give a name to the smtp server. i.e email server.
  • enter Gmail smtp address smtp.gmail.com.
  • Enter the port. Normally it should be 587, but could sometimes be 465 or 25.
  • You can be sure that the server can connect to Gmail by a simple telnet test. e.g telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 or smtp.gmail.com 465.
  • enable "use TLS (transport layer security)".
  • Enter your Gmail email address and password.
  • Enter your default sender email (usually same as your Gmail email address).

Configure gmail to allow less secure apps-

For security reasons Gmail restricts sign-in attempts from some applications, at the moment, this affects NPrinting 17.
