Are You Ready for Serverless Printing? 🖨️
When dealing with print devices, you and your clients want things to be as easy as possible.
But many times, print servers can complicate your clients' printing workflow.
As a result, serverless printing is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional server-based print management.
At Print Partner, we aim to keep our MSP partners informed on the latest trends of our managed print ecosystem. We work with hundreds of MSPs throughout the country handling our mutual clients' printing needs so that your MSP can focus on your higher-priority tasks.
In this article, we will review what serverless printing is - how it works, how it compares to traditional print servers, and how you can expect it to impact the managed print services industry as a whole.

5 Minute Career Advice — How to Learn to Code 🕑
Learning to code can be daunting.
You might want to learn to code to get better at your job, get a new one, or even launch a side project.
Here’s my quick tips for how should you learn to code in 2023:
Start by picking a language: I’d recommend python, javascript or ruby. They’re simple and easily readable.
Next, you need to learn the basics. Read a book or watch a video course on the basics. Stuff like control flow statements, functions and the basics of running your program.
Now, you’ll hit a slump.
This part is important.
What do you do from here?
My recommendation is to pick a personal project to attack.
Ideally, it’s something you can use at work to make your job easier, or a small side project that solves a problem of your own.
You need an actionable goal that is just slightly out of reach.
This morning on LinkedIn I saw a website called Coding Challenges.
It’s got a great repository of Challenges like writing your own web server and DNS resolver. It doesn’t tell you exactly how to do these things, it just merely guides you.
Check it out! They’re not sponsored, I just thought it was cool.
And if you’re learning to code, I’d love to hear from ya. Reply back and tell me what helped you!
