Features
Everything you need for modern printing
Connect your printers, send documents via API, track every job in real time. No drivers, no print servers, no complexity.
Core Features
The fundamentals that make APIBOYS work — fast, secure, and simple.
Instant Printing
Send a document to any printer from any device in under a second. Upload a PDF, image, or raw data through the API — it arrives at the target printer immediately. No drivers to install, no software to configure on the printing device.
Secure Document Transit
Every document is encrypted with TLS in transit. Once the print job reaches the local client and is sent to the printer, the document data is deleted from our infrastructure. We never store your documents — they pass through, they do not stay.
Print Queue Management
Full control over every print queue. Pause, resume, reorder, or cancel jobs from the dashboard or API. Set priority levels so urgent documents jump the queue. View pending, active, and completed jobs in real time.
Print from Any Device
Works from phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, servers, and IoT devices. Any device that can make an HTTP request can send a print job. No platform-specific drivers or SDKs required — just a REST API call.
Real-Time Job Tracking
Know the exact status of every print job at every moment. Track jobs through queued, printing, and completed stages. Set up webhooks to get notified when a job completes or fails — your systems react in real time.
Usage Analytics & Reports
Track printing costs by user, department, or printer. See page counts, color vs mono breakdown, peak usage hours, and cost-per-page metrics. Export reports to CSV or pull data through the API for your own dashboards.
How the API Works
From printer registration to confirmed delivery — four steps.
Register your printers
Install the APIBOYS client on a machine connected to your printers. It discovers them and registers each one with your account. You get a unique printer ID for each device.
Send a print job via API
Make a POST request with the document (PDF, image, or raw data), the target printer ID, and optional settings like copies, color, and duplex. One HTTP call is all it takes.
Document prints instantly
The job is encrypted and transmitted to the local client, which sends it to the printer. The document is deleted from our infrastructure the moment it is delivered.
Track and confirm delivery
Poll the job status endpoint or receive a webhook callback when the job completes. Your system knows with certainty that the document was printed.
Platform & Management
Tools for managing printers, users, and infrastructure at any scale.
Multi-Printer Management
Register and manage unlimited printers from a single dashboard. Group them by location, department, or function. See online/offline status, paper levels, and error states at a glance.
Automatic Failover
If a printer goes offline, jobs automatically reroute to the next available printer at the same location. No manual intervention, no lost documents. Configure failover priorities and printer pools.
Centralized Dashboard
One place to see every printer, every job, and every user across all your locations. Filter by status, search by job ID, and drill into individual printer performance. Works on desktop and mobile.
User Permissions & Quotas
Control who can print to which printers. Set monthly quotas per user or department. Restrict color printing to approved groups. Every action is logged for audit compliance.
Lightweight Local Client
A small background service runs on a machine connected to your printers. It auto-discovers printers, registers them, and handles all local communication. Installs in under two minutes and survives reboots.
Developer-First API
Clean REST API with comprehensive documentation. Send print jobs, manage printers, query job status, and pull analytics — all programmatically. Webhook support for event-driven architectures.
Works with Everything
Any Printer
HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Zebra, Star Micronics, Ricoh, Xerox, SATO, Honeywell, Dymo, Lexmark — if your OS can see it, APIBOYS can print to it. Thermal, inkjet, laser, label, and industrial printers all supported.
Any Platform
The local client runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Print jobs can be sent from any platform that can make HTTP requests — iOS, Android, web browsers, servers, embedded systems, and IoT devices.
Any Document Format
Send PDFs, images (PNG, JPG, TIFF), raw printer data (ZPL, EPL, ESC/POS), or HTML. For thermal and label printers, send raw commands directly. For standard printers, send a PDF and we handle the rest.
