Hello everyone. In our house we don't have a wireless printer so everytime someone needs to print something they need to access my computer because the printer is connected to it. So I was thinking: What if I could have a simple script running which will print every attachment a certain e-mail adress receives? Is it possible?

Can I give you a scenario where this would be a bad idea?

 

Dick pics. Hundreds of them.

 

It would be a private email and not accesible to a lot of people.

 

Assuming all computers in your house are connected to the same network, why don't you just share the printer and make it accessible to everyone?

 

Not all computers are connected to the same network and I want it to be able accesible from any device not only PC.

Most phones will print wirelessly if they're newer. My phone can print off my shared printer no problem.

My printer got a thing called HPeprint, which gives it an email address and if you send an email to it it will print it.

For that you will need WiFi which it doesn't have.
