# Introduction

> What PrintEasy is and how the pieces fit together.

PrintEasy lets your software print to real printers anywhere. Install the PrintEasy agent on a computer that has printers, mark the printers you want to expose, and send print jobs through the REST API.

## How it works

1. Install the agent on Windows, macOS or Linux. It runs as a background service and connects out to PrintEasy.
2. Mark printers as live in the agent's local page or in the dashboard. PrintEasy reads each printer's paper sizes, trays, duplex and color support.
3. Create an API key in the dashboard and call `POST /v1/printjobs` with a PDF or raw payload. Watch the job move through queued, sent, received, printing and done.

## Test mode

Every organization gets a virtual test computer with four printers. Keys that start with `pe_test_` can only print to them, so you can build and test without a physical printer.
