New Local Network Access (LNA) permission prompt

Effective September 30, 2025, Google Chrome version 141 will introduce a new security feature: a Local Network Access (LNA) permission prompt. This change may impact users who rely on SciNote to connect with Zebra label printers and SciNote Edit.

What’s Changing?

When you try to connect SciNote to local devices (like a Zebra label printer or SciNote Edit), Chrome will now show a Local Network Access permission prompt asking:


Blocking this permission will result in:

  • Zebra printers not appearing in your printer list in SciNote
  • Uploaded files no longer show the "Open in ..." option on desktop apps (will behave as if SciNote Edit is not installed or running)

If you accidentally clicked Block or want to change your choice:

  1. Open SciNote in Chrome
  2. Click the padlock (🔒) icon in the address bar
  3. Choose "Site settings"
  4. Find “Local Network Access” and set it to Allow


You may need to refresh your page after updating the permission.

This change applies to both SciNote Cloud and On-Premises customers.
