Where I put my things..

CloudPrinter

Aug 8th 2012

TL;DR print doc->driver uploads to your owncloud->QR code displayed, links to it

Quick brain dump

ownCloud needs this. It would help it ascend to low-oxygen heights.

  1. Using my desktop, I'm on a page, or email that I need to take to a meeting, review later, whatevs.
  2. I go to print, choose 'CloudPrinter', and print.
  3. Print driver turns content I was viewing to either png or pdf, and uploads to my ownCloud
  4. Moments after it 'printed', a big QR code shows up
  5. Take pic with tablet/smartphone and BAM that file is on my device

Heavens, think of the paper savings in offices..
