Hi fellow self-hosting lemmings,
In an SME setting, I’m looking for a service to regularly fetch mails from an IMAP server and print incoming mails and attachments on a local network printer based on rules (e.g., only print mails where the subject contains a specific word.)
Does a solution like that exist, ideally with a browser frontend to set it up?
Thank you!
I actually use NR to keep an eye on my CUPS print queue for jobs waiting, and it sends a wakeup to a tasmota wall plug to turn on the printer and then turn it off in 5 minutes. This lets me have a network printer always ready, but not using power in idle.

I do actually use Node-RED myself for my zigbee home automation. Funny how it never crossed my mind to pick it up for this. It’s perfect as I want a non-programmer to be able to maintain it.
I doubt my solution will be much more than ingest and print, but I’ll report back. Still fighting to get that hp p3015 to do something over IPP…
