    Hi folks,
    I'm hoping to find the best solution for printing to a small thermal printer from email.

    So for example, a contact form is submitted via a website, which sends an email. The email is to be printed out instantaneously, without any interaction whatsoever from a human.

    So to summarise:
    User completes form on a website
    Website sends email with form content
    Printer prints out the email content immediately and without any interaction required.

    Any help would be brilliant!

    Do you have the form submission to email part done already?

    If so you can create a rule to automatically print incoming mails of certain kinds in outlook.

    Thanks for that. I should have said that I need this to work independent of a desktop/laptop as well.

    I was thinking maybe the Raspberry Pi would be capable of something like this?

    I also saw this, which is programmable so I was thinking something like that.
