A web-based print management application built on CUPS that turns a home USB printer into an always-available network print service. It runs in Docker, lets users upload files (PDF, images, Office docs, OFD, text) via a browser, submit print jobs remotely, and provides multi-user management with print history tracking.

Use cases

• share a home USB printer over the network
• print documents remotely from a browser
• set up a Docker print server on a NAS
• convert Office documents to PDF and print them
• track who printed what in a small office
• merge multiple photos into one PDF for printing

When to choose

• you want to expose a USB printer as a network printer via Docker
• you need browser-based printing with multi-user access and print logs
• you run a home lab or NAS and want a self-hosted print service
• you need automatic conversion of Office/OFD/image files to printable PDFs

When to avoid

• you need enterprise print management with quotas and fleet administration
• your printer lacks Linux/CUPS driver support and you cannot install vendor drivers
• you need AirPrint/Mopria discovery rather than web-based submission
