The landscape of printer management is continually evolving, and the urge to eliminate print servers has never been more prevalent. The corporate world is abuzz with technologies such as driverless printing and Microsoft Universal Print. While these innovations promise to revolutionize how organizations manage their printer fleets, there are still key functionalities that need to be addressed. That’s where solutions like Celiveo 365 come into play, extending and complementing the capabilities of Microsoft Universal Print.
Why Eliminate Print Servers?
Maintaining print servers can be a significant drain on IT resources. The desire to eliminate print servers stems from the need to reduce hardware costs, simplify network architectures, and improve security. With driverless printing technology, the dependency on print servers diminishes, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient printing environment. However, managing a vast fleet of printers without a solid support system can be challenging.
The Promise – and Limitations – of Microsoft Universal Print
Microsoft Universal Print aims to modernize the printing experience by offering cloud-based management of printers. This serverless approach promises to streamline printing in a way that is both scalable and secure. However, it is essential to recognize that Microsoft Universal Print alone may not cover all the bases when it comes to advanced print management functionalities:
- Lack of comprehensive fleet management tools
