Today we’re excited to announce a pair of releases we’ve been working toward for a long time: Deskie Print and the Deskie Print Server.

Deskie is built entirely by coworking space owners and operators. The people designing the platform are the same people running spaces every day…answering questions at the front desk, troubleshooting issues, and managing the countless small operational frictions that come with shared environments. Because of that, we spend a lot of time identifying problems that this industry has quietly accepted as unavoidable.

Printing has always been one of them.

For most coworking spaces, printing lives outside the core operational system. It requires separate setup, separate instructions, and often separate accounts. Staff ends up acting as technical support when members need guidance or guests need explanation. Even after the effort, it still interrupts the otherwise seamless experience a modern workspace should provide, all while creating extra work just to recover costs (or risk losing entirely).

We don’t think something this common should feel this disconnected.

A Native Printing Experience

Starting today, printing becomes part of the same environment your workspace already runs on.

With Deskie Print, members and guests have the ability to print directly from their Deskie workspace. The same place they pay invoices, book conference rooms, communicate with coworkers, manage passes, and access doors is now also where they print.

There are no drivers to install and no network hurdles to explain. If someone can open a browser, they can print. It works from phones and desktops, and it does not require them to be on-site or connected to your Wi-Fi network.

The interface is intentionally simple. Users see their previous jobs alongside the option to create a new one. They select a printer, choose black and white or color with pricing clearly shown, upload a file, choose copies, see the total, and print. The job is sent immediately with no extra steps, no setup walk-through, no staff involvement.

Printing finally behaves like the rest of the workspace: predictable and self-service.

Billing Without Administrative Work

Printing has traditionally created accounting overhead. Deskie removes that entirely.

Member printing is automatically bundled into the next invoice. Guest printing charges instantly using the same payment method they used to book a pass or room. If payment fails, the job does not run. Spaces can define pricing, create minimum charges to offset processing fees, differentiate between members and guests, or even make printing free.

Guests remain first-class participants in Deskie. Once someone books anything in your space, they receive a login and can interact with the environment without needing staff mediation. Printing follows the same philosophy.

The Deskie Print Server

Behind the scenes, Deskie Print is powered by the Deskie Print Server.

Spaces can run it by installing the software on any always-on Mac, Windows, or Linux machine - or they can use the dedicated Deskie Print Server hardware which is available for a one-time $199 purchase worldwide.

The Deskie Print Server hardware is designed to be a breeze to deploy. Plug in power, plug in Ethernet, and configuration typically takes about ten to fifteen minutes. A small touchscreen on the front displays status information and provides a QR code so setup can be completed directly from a phone.

Much like everything else Deskie offers, there are no additional modules, add-ons, or ongoing fees. The hardware works as part of the platform…not as a subscription layered on top of it.

Once connected, printers on the network appear automatically inside the Deskie admin panel. Administrators can enable devices, configure authentication codes, set defaults, adjust pricing, and review history without leaving the platform or interacting with vendor utilities. If drivers are ever needed, Deskie supports simple PPD upload and assignment directly in the interface.

Availability

Pre-orders open March 1st, with devices shipping within the following one to two weeks.

Deskie Print represents a larger goal we’ve been steadily moving toward: eliminating the small operational burdens that quietly accumulate in coworking spaces. Printing has long been one of the most persistent examples, and we believe it should feel no different than booking a room or opening a door.

This is a significant release for us, and also one of many. We have additional hardware-assisted capabilities in development addressing another longstanding workspace pain point.

We’re looking forward to sharing more soon.
