Possible Causes

This issue usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:

  • The module was incorrectly migrated or updated

  • Some technical changes were made manually

  • The module views were accidentally deactivated

In most cases, the root cause is that the Direct Print settings views have been set to inactive.

How to Fix the Issue

Option 1: Reactivate Views (Recommended)

  1. Enable Developer Mode (Debug Mode) in Odoo

  2. Go to Settings → Technical → User Interface → Views

After that, the Direct Print Settings tab should become visible and work correctly.


Option 2: Reinstall the Module (Not Recommended)

You can try reinstalling the Direct Print module. This will recreate all views automatically.

Warning:
Reinstalling the module may remove your current configuration, including:

  • API key

  • Printer settings

  • Other module configurations

You may need to set everything up again.


Check User Access Rights

In some cases, the issue may be related to user permissions.

Make sure that the user:

  • Has sufficient access rights

  • Is allowed to access Settings in Odoo

Otherwise, the Settings tab may not be visible at all.
