My business includes printing, signing, and mailing certain documents, so it was crucial for our efficiency to automate the process of printing.
Our first "fancy" printer included support for Google Cloud Print - except it would periodically "deauthenticate" and require manual setup, which in turn would change certain printer IDs that we needed to send jobs to the printer.
Our next "fancy" printer from Xerox also included support for Google Cloud Print. For whatever reason, we could never enable Google Cloud Print on that model.
We switched to PrintNode and have never looked back. We were able to integrate our label printers with PrintNode as well, so we could automate the process of printing shipping labels. The biggest downside is that we needed a dedicated computer (server in our case) to be connected to the printers in order to route the PrintNode jobs. Not the biggest downside in our case, but to its credit, Google Cloud Print usually connected directly from the printer.
- brentonator 7y ago+1 for printnode, except the last two months where a botched upgrade and some redundancy issues they had internally resorted in outages.
- HEHENE 7y agoWill tack QZ Tray (https://qz.io https://qz.io) onto this list. I've actually used it at my last two jobs for everything from dot matrix printers, laser printers, shipping label printers, and scales (Mettler Toledo.) Worked great and support was phenomenal.
- Ataraxy 7y agoCan also state I had good experience with them and that it's worth looking into. Needed a way to print custom labels and packing slips dynamically and Google Cloud Print was pretty obtuse comparitively.
