Print Serverless Printing

As organizations looking to reduce IT costs, one could easily look no further than reducing servers. Server consolidation. Server virtualization. The end result is the same. Some vendors have estimated that annual support costs on Windows servers can be as high as $5000 a year per server. This is why UniPrint’s Serverless Printing solution could be a great fit for your organization.

By deploying server-less printing through UniPrint InfinityCloud, it is now possible to manage your Windows printing, VMWare VDI or Citrix XA/XD environment under one management platform without remote print servers.

This enterprise cloud print management platform is perfect for large organizations as most have “hybrid” computing environments. It is also an ideal print solution for organizations migrating towards a virtualized environment or cloud computing environment.

Serverless Print Management

As there are no remote print servers this feature is focused on driver packaging, distribution and management as well as printer management on the end user’s workstation.

Our PrintPAL functionality will still use UniPrint InfinityClouds’s classic Universal Printer Driver (UPD) based print solution and further add-on modules that allows for the management of IP direct/print server-less printers.

The existing PrintPAL functionality in combination with direct IP printing under one management platform will allow administrators to remotely deploy printers to client workstations based on several criteria that is specific to the user, including username, endpoint name, organizational unit, and IP address range.

UniPrint Infinity Admin Interface that allows for the management of IP direct print serverless printers.

How Serverless Printing Works

Manufacturers’ printer drivers added to the UniPrint Printer Repository by using the Printer Migration tool or from the client machines using the UniPrint Serverless Agent. This process uses HTTP/HTTPS.

Printers are assigned to remote sites using PrintPAL.

Manufacturers’ drivers get pushed down to desktops and laptops using HTTP/HTTPS.

Print jobs are printed through the manufacturers’ driver and print data stays local.

NOTE: No firewall configuration required on the remote sites.
