PrintSocket
Cloud print API for sending jobs to any printer from your application
A REST API that sends print jobs to any printer on a customer's machine using a lightweight agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Overview
The PrintSocket homepage
PrintSocket is a cloud print API that allows applications to send print jobs to any printer without direct network access. Users install a lightweight agent on Windows, macOS, or Linux machines, which enrolls with a single-use token and connects outbound over a WebSocket. The API supports PDF, ZPL label, and ESC/POS receipt formats. It includes features like webhooks for job status updates, idempotent requests to prevent duplicate prints, document upload and reuse, USB shipping scale integration, and role-based printer access control. The service provides test mode for development with a virtual printer that never counts against usage limits.

Buyer questions
What counts as a job?
One accepted POST /v1/jobs that reaches a real printer counts as a job. Copies of the same job do not count extra, and jobs sent to the virtual test printer never count at all, so you can simulate as much as you like for free.
Do I need a card to start?
No. The free plan is the trial. You can sign up, enroll a machine, and start printing without providing a credit card.
How do I change plans?
From the dashboard through Stripe's hosted portal you can upgrade, downgrade, cancel, update your card, and view invoice history.
Why does a test-mode job count?
Because paper does not know what mode it was printed in. Test mode keeps your sample prints in a separate pool so a printer you are experimenting with can never show up in your production fleet, and that separation stays free. What costs money is a real machine and a real print, wherever you put it. Your first two real printers in test mode do not count toward the device limit, so checking against hardware costs you nothing.
What happens when I hit the cap?
New jobs to real printers are rejected with HTTP 402 and a message naming your plan and reset date, jobs to the virtual test printer keep working, and enrolling past the device limit is rejected the same way. There is no silent overage billing: "upgrade to keep printing" is a failure mode you can see, and one your monitoring can catch. You get an email at 80% of the monthly job limit, and the dashboard shows a usage meter.
