- Which payment methods are supported and who controls pricing?
- Does the Windows-side print agent work with your actual printer drivers?
- Can you see pending, printed and completed jobs clearly?
- How are uploaded files retained and deleted?
- Are there limits on file size, printers, orders or shop users?
- How are app updates and printer configuration handled?
Where Prinko is designed to fit
Prinko focuses on the walk-in print-shop workflow: the customer scans the shop QR, uploads a file, chooses print options and payment method, and the shop receives a structured order. The Windows Print Station then connects that order workflow to printers selected by the shop.
Prinko also keeps a shop-controlled queue and supports cash at counter, which is useful for shops that want digital file intake without forcing every customer through online payment.
Do not compare only on headline price
For a working Xerox or photocopy shop, the most important differences are operational: printer compatibility, order reliability, page-range handling, colour/B&W behaviour, payment release rules, queue recovery and how quickly staff can understand what happened when a print fails.
