printer.party

Easy remote printing. Send files from your phone to a nearby printer — no apps, no drivers, no cloud.

https://printer.party

How it works

1. Open printer.party on the computer connected to your printer. It generates a 4-character code and QR code.
2. On your phone, open printer.party and scan the QR code (or enter the code manually) to connect.
3. Pick a file (PDF or image) and tap Print. The file is sent directly to the other device, which opens the browser print dialog automatically.

Files are transferred peer-to-peer using WebRTC. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
