Great!

This is exactly what I had in mind, so I will wait for your solution.

Did you foresee the possibility to insert kvp substitution parameters for
text strings in print templates ?

Something that allows sending substitution strings in the request, for
example the name of the customer or similar short text snippets.

example:

[ Printed by: {username}]



Thanks a lot for this developments!
