Printers Integration: PrintNode Remote Printing for Envelopes & Letters
Printers Integration: PrintNode Remote Printing for Envelopes & Letters
A remote printing integration enabling envelope, letter, and specialized photo printing using PrintNode and dedicated hardware.
A remote printing integration enabling envelope, letter, and specialized photo printing using PrintNode and dedicated hardware.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVED
Unsupported product types on existing printers
Industrial printers were not suitable for envelopes, letters, and certain photo formats.
No remote control over local printers
Printers connected to local machines could not be managed programmatically from the server.
Manual printing workflows
Envelope and letter printing required manual operator actions, slowing down fulfillment.
Need for product-specific printer routing
Certain products had to be printed only on specific printers with precise configuration.

OUR SOLUTIONS
PrintNode-based remote printing
We integrated PrintNode, which runs as a local application on a workstation and exposes connected printers via a secure cloud API using unique printer IDs.
Dedicated printer routing
The system automatically routes specific product types to the correct printer: envelopes, letters, specialized photo formats. Ensuring each product is printed on compatible hardware only.
Backend-controlled printing
Using Ruby on Rails and REST APIs, the backend can select the correct printer by ID, send print jobs remotely, control print parameters and track job execution.
Automated fulfillment logic
Once an order is placed: the system prepares the print file, routes it to PrintNode, sends it to the correct local printer and updates order and print statuses automatically. No manual intervention required.

OVERVIEW
The client needed to expand their printing capabilities to support envelopes, letters, and specific photo products that could not be printed on their existing industrial printers. These product types required a different class of hardware and a flexible way to control printers remotely.
To solve this, we integrated PrintNode, a cloud-based remote printing service that allows physical printers to be securely exposed via unique IDs and controlled through an API. This enabled seamless, automated printing on dedicated devices such as the Fujifilm DL650, fully integrated with the client’s backend systems.

RESULTS
RESULTS
Reliable envelope & letter printing. Previously unsupported product types are now fully automated.
Remote printer control. Printers can be managed from anywhere via API.
Zero manual handling. Orders flow directly from the system to the printer.
Scalable architecture. Additional printers can be added easily by installing PrintNode and registering a new printer ID.
Hardware-specific optimization. Each printer is used strictly for the products it is designed for.
