CirrusPrint can be used on Windows or Linux, either in the cloud or at your own data center. It can accept print jobs and other documents, compress them, and deliver them to remote printers and users. It is easy to integrate with applications. You can print to it as any network printer, email files, drop files into the device, or use REST API. CirrusPrint jobs are sent quickly and securely to remote printers as exact duplicates of the original job.
