Solving the Print Driver Challenge
A cloud printing service eliminates the need for multiple printer drivers. A full-featured single print driver provides unparalleled advantages and makes setting up cloud printing fast and easy.
Solving the print driver challenge
Fundamentally print drivers were designed to be a piece of software on a computer that converts data to be printed into a format that a printer can understand. Over time, as layers of complexity have been built into printing infrastructure, print driver management has become a task in itself. IT has developed processes to handle print driver updates centrally, using print servers as a distribution platform.
With cloud print software, this headache essentially goes away. IT simply installs a client containing a universal print driver that includes full finishing options for all major manufacturers on users’ devices. Any updates in policy or device commands are pulled down to the client on a regular basis, so that users are always up to date and can print to all available devices, irrespective of manufacturer.
Is this a universal print driver?
The term universal print driver has been used historically to convey a single manufacturer driver that enables consistent print performance on that manufacturers’ devices. However, in a multi-vendor print environment, universal print drivers often come up short, and IT typically has to maintain a repository of multiple print drivers to manage the fleet - a lot of needless administration.
Cloud print software replaces these legacy universal print drivers with a single solution that can handle multiple networks and domains even within organizations where there are duplicate usernames between domains.
Benefits for IT and end-users
Another significant value-add is the simplification of common IT helpdesk pain points such as connecting users to a printer, whether at their home location or when visiting another site. SAFEQ Cloud print software enables self-service for users and simplifies the process of adding print devices by only displaying those available locally to them.
With a true cloud platform, the print driver can move from being a point of frustration to a business enabler. Organizations can easily enable end-users to be able to print securely to any device (all major print manufacturers), from desktop or mobile, with full complex print driver commands (duplex, staple, punch etc.).
