## What it is
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
