It exposes four trigger paths: a REST API for direct integration, a native MCP server for Claude and other AI agents, no-code platforms (Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect) for operations teams, and the ezeep Print App for Services for headless ERP, WMS, EHR, and LIS workflows. Jobs route to the correct printer via the ezeep Hub at any site. The Problem ## Manual Printing Is Where Workflows Go to Die Every order, label, receipt, and form that requires a human to click "Print" is a bottleneck - and a failure point. IT and operations teams pay for it in delays, errors, and tickets that never end. ### Shipping Labels Don't Print Themselves A pick list needs to print the moment an order arrives. A shipping label needs to print the moment a package is packed. When those trigger moments rely on someone clicking Print, missed documents turn into shipping delays. ### Back-Office Systems Can't Reach the Printer Your ERP, WMS, or SaaS tool generates the document, but getting it to the right printer at the right site requires VPNs, local agents, or brittle workarounds that break at the worst time. #### AI Agents Have Nowhere to Print Your team is building workflows with Claude, ChatGPT, or custom agents, but the last mile to paper is still manual. Automation stops the second a document needs to be printed. The Solution ## One API, Any App, Any Printer ## Trigger Prints from Anything That Sends an HTTP Request Your ERP, CRM, shipping platform, custom SaaS, Zapier workflow, or Python script - if it can make an API call, it can print through ezeep. Send a document, choose a printer, done. No local agents, no installed drivers, no one at the PC. [Explore the ezeep API Click to Explore the ezeep API](https://www.ezeep.com/developers-api?hsLang=en) ## Print from Zapier, Make, and Pabbly in Minutes Connect ezeep to 7,000+ apps through no-code automation platforms. Trigger prints from new Shopify orders, HubSpot form submissions, SAP events, Slack messages, or anything else without writing a line of code. Operations teams get the automation they need without waiting on IT. [See All Integrations Click to See All Integrations](https://www.ezeep.com/integrations?hsLang=en) ## Give Your AI Agents a Printer ezeep is one of the first print platforms with a native MCP server. Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-capable AI agent and let it print invoices, labels, reports, or summaries as part of your vibe coding project's workflow. Agentic automation all the way to paper - without you stitching it together. [Learn About the ezeep MCP Server Click to Learn About the ezeep MCP Server](https://www.ezeep.com/developers-api?hsLang=en) ## Print Straight from ERP, WMS, and Backend Systems Run headless printing from SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, or any backend system that needs to put documents on paper without a human in the loop. Print App for Services creates persistent, cloud-connected print queues that ERP, WMS, EHR, and lab systems print to like any other printer - no local print server required. [Learn About Print App for Services Click to Learn About Print App for Services](https://www.ezeep.com/features/print-app-for-services?hsLang=en) ## Scale Without Rebuilding Infrastructure Add a new warehouse, store, or branch office and connect its printers to your existing automation in minutes. No new print servers, custom per-site integrations, or rewriting your workflows. Your automated print pipeline grows as fast as your operation does. [Talk to an Expert Click to Talk to an Expert](https://www.ezeep.com/contact?hsLang=en) ## Less Infrastructure. More Calm. Move campus printing to the cloud and reduce the day-to-day maintenance burden. Have fewer patches, fewer queue mysteries, and fewer "it broke overnight" surprises. Server-Free Centralized Less Upkeep ## One Experience Across Campus Support the real education device mix - Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows laptops, tablets, and phones - across libraries, labs, dorms, and shared printers without special steps per department or "this printer only works on that OS." Campus-Wide Cross-Platform User-Friendly ## Permissions That Actually Make Sense Tie printer visibility and access to identity and groups, so students, staff, faculty, and researchers see the right printers by role, building, and department - all without constant manual adjustments. Role-Based Location-Aware Consistent ## Temporary Access, Without Temporary Chaos Support guest lecturers, visiting scholars, events, and short-term programs with controlled access that doesn't create recurring IT work or one-off setups. Temporary Access Controlled Low Effort ## Confidential Pages Stay With The Right Person Reduce tray exposure in busy shared spaces. Pull Printing helps ensure jobs only release when the user authenticates at the printer with their school ID, helping protect exams, registrar documents, and sensitive student records. Private Release Less Mix-Ups Auditable ## Visibility Finance Can Actually Use Understand usage across departments and locations, support quotas and accountability, and make it easier for busier and finance teams to track print spend without turning IT into the print police.  Measurable Accountable Budget-Friendly ## Cost Recovery Without The Busywork For campuses that charge students to print, ezeepCampus adds Self-Join onboarding and credit-based printing, so students and staff can self-serve while your institution keeps pricing and access under control. Self-Join Credit-Based Accountable - - - - - - - - - - - - - - How It Works ## How Automated Printing Works with ezeep Go from "someone needs to click Print" to fully automated output in three steps. Connect your printers, wire up your trigger, and let your apps handle the rest. 1 #### Connect Your Printers Plug in an [ezeep Hub](/ezeep-hub?hsLang=en) or install the ezeep Connector at any location. Your printers are online and cloud-managed in minutes, whether they're at [HQ](/industries/enterprise?hsLang=en), a [warehouse](/industries/warehousing?hsLang=en), a [retail store](/industries/retail-ops?hsLang=en), or a [branch office](/use-cases/hybrid-remote-printing?hsLang=en). 2 #### Wire Up Your Trigger Connect ezeep to your app through the [REST API](/developers-api?hsLang=en), MCP server, or a no-code platform like [Zapier](/integrations/zapier?hsLang=en) or [Make](/integrations/make?hsLang=en). Choose what triggers a print - a new order, a webhook, a cron job, an AI agent action. 3 #### Prints Happen Automatically Every time the trigger fires, the document goes to the right printer without anyone touching a keyboard. You watch dashboards instead of printer queues. Ways to Trigger ## Trigger Prints from Any App, Agent, or API Connect ezeep to your stack through code, no-code platforms, AI agents, or backend workflows. Pick the path that fits your team. ### API Whatever you need printed, send it to our API. Any HTTP request - a webhook, a Python script, a full ERP - can trigger a print with a single API call. OAuth and API key auth supported. [API](https://www.ezeep.com/developers-api?hsLang=en) ### MCP Server Let Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-capable AI agent print as part of its workflow.

Automated printing is the process of triggering print jobs directly from applications, webhooks, APIs, or AI agents without a human clicking "Print." With ezeep, any system that can make an HTTP request can send a document to any connected printer. Common triggers include new ecommerce orders, ERP events, WMS pick lists, cron jobs, Zapier workflows, and AI agent actions. The document is rendered in the ezeep cloud and delivered directly to the target printer - no local agent, driver install, or user intervention. ##### How do I trigger a print job from my app or ERP? You have three options with ezeep: call the [REST API](/developers-api?hsLang=en) directly from your code, connect through a no-code platform like [Zapier](/integrations/zapier?hsLang=en), [Make](/integrations/make?hsLang=en), or [Pabbly](/integrations/pabbly-connect?hsLang=en), or use the ezeep MCP server to let AI agents print. The REST API works with any language - Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Ruby, .NET, and others - and requires only an API key and a POST request with the document and target printer. No-code platforms let operations teams set up automations without developer involvement. ##### How does ezeep decide which printer a job goes to? You pick. Send a print job to a specific printer, to a printer group, or let ezeep route by identity, location, or logic you define in your workflow. Printer assignments can follow user, site, or job type, so the [shipping station](/industries/logistics?hsLang=en) always gets the shipping labels, the [clinic printer](/industries/healthcare?hsLang=en) always gets the prescription, and a new hire automatically inherits the right printers when they join a group. One document, the correct printer, every time. ##### Does ezeep work with AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT? Yes. ezeep provides a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to [Claude](http://Claude.com), [Cursor](http://cursor.com), and other MCP-capable AI agents. This lets agents print documents as part of their workflow - for example, generating and printing an invoice, a label, or a summary report without leaving the conversation. ezeep was one of the first print platforms to ship a production MCP server, making it a natural fit for teams building agentic automation. ##### What types of printers work with automated printing? Any printer connected to ezeep works with automated printing, regardless of manufacturer or model. This includes network printers, USB printers connected via [the ezeep Hub](/ezeep-hub?hsLang=en), thermal label printers ([Zebra](/use-cases/zebra-printing?hsLang=en), Brother, Dymo), receipt printers, and legacy devices without modern interfaces. [The ezeep cloud](/learn/how-cloud-printing-works?hsLang=en) handles all rendering and driver management, so no printer drivers are required on the application side. If a printer is connected to your ezeep account, any automated workflow can send jobs to it. Back to top ## Ready to Automate Every Print Job in Your Stack?
