Standing in long queues for taking print outs has always been a time consuming work. The Smart Print, developed by D&D SmartLabs, system cuts down the time wasted in long queues. The user at his own comfort, in his own system can do the necessary formatting, select the pages, number of prints and everything and push it to print, the file with all formatting to be printed get store in the cloud, which only the user can access. The user just has to swipe his card at the print station and the file uploaded to print, is printed out.
Worked on the software development part of this prototype, uploading the print file to the cloud and downloading it near the print satiation. The entire prototype is developed using open source libraries, python programming language and Google APIs are used for cloud storage.
Money detection from user’s account based on number of prints can also be implemented in the future.
