What is PrintBase?
PrintBase connects your application to physical printers anywhere. Install a lightweight agent on a computer near the printers; it opens an encrypted outbound connection to PrintBase, so you do not need a VPN or to expose printers on the public internet.
Your order system, POS, website or warehouse software sends a print job with one REST call. PrintBase routes it to the right agent and printer. Supported content includes PDFs and raw ZPL or ESC/POS for labels and receipts. Official SDKs cover Node.js, Python, PHP, Java and Go, with webhooks and job status so you know whether each job printed or why it failed.
Typical uses: shipping labels in a warehouse, kitchen tickets and receipts in a store, and SaaS products that add printing for their own customers with isolated workspaces.
A free Lite plan includes 100 prints per month and one computer — no credit card required. Paid plans scale from $8/month as volume grows. Jobs pause at the plan limit so there are no surprise overage bills.
