Enabling cloud printing from Azure with a Web API

Enabling cloud printing from Azure with a Web API // Expert user has replied. Y Yanis Dalabiras 3 years 6 months ago 272 1 0 In our project, we would like to create a Web API exposed in Azure to print using my Link-OS enabled printer. I've read that in order to do this, the printer should be configured to connect to a keep a connection to a special kind of "webservice". What's this webservice? and how can it be done in .NET? Our goal is to have methods like [POST] https://someserver.com/api/printer/job with a specially formatted body content, which would be accessible from outside the local network. We would be very thankful if you point us in the right direction. Thanks.

There is a web API for printing on a Link-OS printer. It's called SendFileToPrinter API - Use the SendFileToPrinter API for Your Cloud-Based Printing Need. Instead of creating your own web server to connect with Link-OS printer, you only need to configure the Link-OS printer to connect with Zebra cloud platform. So the application simply call this https://api.zebra.com/v2/devices/printers/send to send a print job. This is probably the simplest way to implement. Hope this helps.
