Setup Requirements - QlikView

• Ensure that NPrinting February 2018 or higher is installed

Setup Requirements - Qlik Sense

• Qlik Sense February 2018 or higher must be installed
• NPrinting February 2018 or higher must be installed
• Valid rest GET and POST connections must be inserted into your load script. See attached R&D article for details

Setup Requirements - QlikView and Qlik Sense

• In the NPrinting Web Console under 'Admin'>'Users', check the "domain account" field and ensure you have a windows domain user account mapped to NPrinting User user account for use with NPrinting API's. This NP account must have also have the NPrinting 'Administrator' role assigned to it.
• In order to accept POST calls from the Sense server, you MUST add the Qlik Sense and or QlikView server hostname address among the NPrinting Trusted Origins.
• The host name format in the NPrinting 'Trusted Origins' should be the same format as the proxy address used in setting up NPrinting connections to Qlik Sense apps

See section - "Adding the QlikView Server as a trusted origin".
NOTE: the same steps apply to adding a Qlik Sense server as an NPrinting Trusted Origin in order to allow NPrinting API's to function normally

@Frank_S  when is February 2019 SR1 expected to be released?

It appears to be working if you use an older version, e.g. 1.7.4 from Sep 2018 release.
