Automated Email Attachment Printing: Save Time, Boost Efficiency

Written by Maximilian Bauer | December 1, 2023

Manually printing email attachments takes significant time and creates extra work. ezeep automates this process, helping you save time and eliminate tedious manual steps. This eliminates the need to open each email, save attachments, select printer settings, and confirm every print job individually.

Important documents like contracts and invoices often arrive as email attachments, requiring physical copies. The traditional approach to printing Outlook attachments involves several steps. Each step introduces a chance for error and can expose sensitive data if files are saved locally before printing. When dealing with high volumes of emails and attachments, manual printing becomes a major bottleneck. Further issues arise when the desired printer is not immediately available, such as when printing to a home office printer, from a remote session, or accessing a remote printer from a mobile device or another location.

ezeep is an innovative print solution designed to simplify and optimize printing processes, significantly reducing administrative work. By connecting your printers to the ezeep cloud, you can easily print to remote and local printers from any application. It eliminates the need for manual intervention for routine print tasks.

Here's how ezeep helps simplify your printing:

Integrate Make and Zapier to Print Outlook Attachments Automatically

Zapier and Make are workflow automation platforms that connect applications like Outlook to ezeep. This allows you to optimize your printing processes without any programming knowledge.

  1. In Make, select the target folder in Outlook where emails with attachments to be printed are received.
  2. Automatically upload email attachments to a OneDrive folder.
  3. Link the OneDrive folder to ezeep and set a time for how often the folder is checked for new Outlook attachments.
