Adding a printer is one of the most important setup steps for a Maker account. Your printer details help define what work you can take on and support how print requests are matched and managed.
Why adding a printer matters
Your printer information helps JustPrint:
-
Represent your printing capabilities
-
Support print request matching
-
Show what materials and file formats you can handle
-
Prepare your Maker workspace for quoting and production
Without at least one printer, your Maker setup may feel incomplete.

Before creating your first printer entry, gather the details you want to include, such as:
