New Invoicing - Add a Print PDF where you can directly print from the invoice (not download)
New Invoicing - I need to print invoices regularly for counter sale customers. Using new invoicing it used to open a new chrome tab when you clicked Print PDF from there you could print or download the invoice easy.
In a recent update (See link https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/47646932-new-invoicing-print-pdf-option) the Print button now only allows you to Download invoices.
Please revert to the old system where printing or downloading took the same number of clicks
or
- Change the current Print PDF button to read "Download PDF"
- Add a new "Print PDF" Button that actually prints the invoice.

This "new" feature is taking up so much time - to download every invoice before I can print it, when I'm doing 30 minimum a day.
Definitely agree with your suggestion - thank you. -

The download feature is a waste of time! Revert back to the print option.

Definitely need a print PDF options that opens in a tab and a separate download option. The New version started off like this so why the change? It's time consuming and takes up unnecessary space on your PC.

I used to be able to click "approve & print" and it would open a PDF to print but now it downloads it instead so I either have to acknowledge a message, wait for it to download and click on it to open before printing and then clear out my downloads file at the end of they day or approve it, then click preview, wait for it to display then print. There was always an option to download if needed but now you have taken away the ability to quickly print adding time to the whole process - please put it back to what it was or give us an option to print in one click. This is a backwards move.

Appreciate that some people prefer to download. But many of us use this feature to check that an invoice says what we want it to say (as the preview feature doesn't preview the actual invoice) before we approve and send.
We don't want to have to download the file, open it, then delete it again.
So we need both options please - direct download for those who want that, and view in tab for those who want that. It's a trivial change, the code already exists for both and all you need is a new menu option.

Why not have two options:
- print PDF (opens in a new tab)
- download PDFWill satisfy everyone 🤷♂️

This new system is so counter-intuitive, and fills up the users compurter with files that are not needed. I will also increase the chance/risk of the incorrect invoice being uploaded or attached to emails.
Please revert to the previous system. Print opens a print dialogue, Download does exactly that!
