Automatic printing of Packing Slips for new orders

[orders75]

Because this original request I made for this was closed when an unrelated feature was introduced, I'm creating a new one. I would very much like to be able to have the automation in ShipStation be able to print. This would allow me to have it automatically print all new orders that have downloaded, so that warehouse personnel know an order has come in when the printer starts spitting out packing slips. This is something we're used to having in a different product we switched from to ShipStation and it's the main thing we miss. With printing being done through ShipStation Connect now, this should be entirely possible too. The other thing that would have be added is another feature that ShipStation really does need anyway: an indication of some kind that an order has already been printed. This would allow automation to "print all unprinted orders" as well as greatly reduce the possibility of orders being double-packed when more than 1 person is working shipping. We've had this happen multiple times simply because there's no good way to tell when an order has already been printed right now. Thank you!!

Packing slips need to print automatically. I'm trying to move from ShipWorks to ShipStation, and this is a roadblock. In ShipWorks I even designated which printer. For instance, I have a printer dedicated to Medium Flat Rate Boxes. Every packing slip on that printer goes into a Medium Flat Rate box.

When my team arrives early in the morning, they immediately begin picking orders. No need to touch a computer.
