Understanding the Loftware Cloud printer types

When setting up the Cloud Print API printer integration, there are two printer types to choose from. This section helps you to understand the difference of the two printer types:

• CloudPrinter: These printers connect directly to Loftware Cloud without needing any software or drivers installed on your computer. They are easy to set up and use, but are limited to the following brands and models (as of April 2025):
  • Zebra printers with Link-OS printer operating system.
  • SATO CLNX series.
  • Epson CW series printers.
  • See the full list of supported printers here.
    
• PrintQueue: Use this option if your printer is connected to a computer or network and is not listed as a supported Cloud Printer. This method works with most standard label printers. It requires a local driver to be installed and run on a dedicated computer that’s connected to the printer.

To learn more about each printer type, check out this article: Loftware Cloud – Cloud Print API.
