Automated Printing of Email Attachments: Save Time and Increase Efficiency with ezeep Blue

Print Email Attachments automatically

Printing Outlook attachments and emails is a time-consuming task. In this blog post, we take a look at the manual approach and show you a simple and worthwhile alternative – automation with ezeep Blue.

A lot of important data, such as contracts or invoices, are now sent as email attachments, yet they still need to be printed. The manual method of printing Outlook attachments usually requires several steps:

  1. Open the e-mail with the attachment
  2. Saving PDF attachments locally if necessary
  3. Clicking on the print option
  4. Selecting the printer settings, such as number of pages, paper format, etc.
  5. Confirming the printing process

This manual method is not only time-consuming but also entails the risk of errors and inconsistencies, in addition to data protection issues where PDF attachments are saved locally before printing. Manual printing can also be inefficient with large volumes of emails and attachments. Further challenges arise when printing email attachments when the desired printer is not displayed. This scenario can occur, for example, if the email attachment needs to be printed on a local printer in the home office or from a session. Similar problems arise if a remote printer needs be accessed from a mobile device while on the move, or if you want to print to a remote printer located in another site.
