Use the Document Management API

The Document Management API lets other systems send print documents to HP Insights. It supports Secure Print Direct.

Before you begin

You can create client applications in Analysis > API > Client Application. See Create a client application.

Send files with Secure Print Direct

With Secure Print Direct, an external application sends a print-ready file, such as a PDF, straight to a printer through the Document Management API.

Create a client application

Create a client application for the Document Management API. See Create a client application.

Identify the printer in each request

Identify the target printer by its hostname, IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or Alias. The value must match one of your Secure Print Direct printers.

Note: An alias stays the same if the printer's IP address changes, so it's the most reliable way to identify a printer. Set aliases in the printer's properties. See Direct Print printer columns and properties.

Check delivery

Use the status endpoints to check whether the job was delivered to the printer.

For endpoints, request formats and responses, see the HP US Document Management API documentation or HP EU Document Management API documentation.
