Choose your practice printer system

With IDEXX Neo, you can use local network printers that you set up at your practice, or you can use Neo Cloud Print.

Note: To learn about label printers, see Configure label printers.

Here are some questions you should keep in mind when deciding which system is right for your practice:

Cloud printing

  • Do you have a cloud ready printer(s) attached to your network or a non-cloud ready printer(s) installed on at least one computer?
  • Do you have printers that more than one computer, laptop, or other device need to share?
  • Do you want to assign default printers by document?

Local printing

  • Are your printers installed on each computer that will need them?
  • Do you want to assign default printers by computer?
