BotArchive – Print Directly to Google Drive from Windows

Hacker News

I built BotArchive ( https://www.botarchive.com ) to make it easy to save content to cloud storage: you connect it to your Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox or Box, and then anything you send to it gets automatically saved in the attached storage location. I'd originally built it for Telegram and Slack, but I've been long interested in doing things with print: printing has long felt like one of the biggest underutilized output processes out there. Almost every piece of software has print integration, the output format is usually legible and for things like receipts I always find myself printing them out, and then copying them to Google Drive. So I built a custom IPP printer: no drivers needed on Windows, OSX or Android (haven't tried iOS yet but I assume its the same), easy configuration and prints PDFs that appear right in your cloud storage location of choice (handy replacement for the missing Google Cloud Print feature). Future work includes parsing the printed PDFs for things like conversion into a Kindle book, or extracting financial data. Feedback welcome!
