  Yes, you should be able to do this, but you will have to write a workflow that launches the print template.

  Within workflow you can use the 'Get Current User' activity to get the name of the current logged in user. Then you can call your print template with the 'Print Map' activity. An optional parameter for this activity is a 'Text Fields' dictionary of name / value pairs representing the user configurable text fields on the print template (such as the print template title). If you create a new configurable field on your print template, and then send it the username in this dictionary, then the username will automatically appear on the print template when you print from your workflow.

  I've gone over a number of tricky steps quickly here -- but if you get stuck, just let us know and we will do our best to help you. You can also open up a support case at support@latitudegeo.com for some one on one assistance with workflow development.

  Thanks for the reply. I could not  find Print Map activity in the designer. I am using on essentials version 3.8.0. Any help will be appreciated

  Print Map activity was introduced in Essentials 3.9 (May 2012).
