Being a "web guy" I tend to have very little if any dealings with printing solutions so naturally I have to turn to the codebetter community.
Looking for a print server type solution that does the following:
- Allows templates to be set up in a variety of formats (word, excel, pdf, whatever) that support sending in detail information in a standard format be it delimited or xml
- Manages the storing of the information sent in so that a record is kept of what was printed when, allow viewing and reprinting.
- Have a nice clean interface to be called from other programs to start batch jobs etc.
- Would be nice if print requests could be batched and ordered according to rules (print letters ordered by state, etc)
Naturally we'd like it to be cost effective etc since we're not a huge shop. Basically we'll be evaluating build vs buy.
Any suggestions?
