Bid Farewell to Printing Issues with UniPrint and Ferroque

As the world progressively reduces reliance on printing, use cases that depend on printing are under greater scrutiny to reduce waste and secure print jobs with authentication and audit capabilities to minimize data leakage of sensitive, restricted information.

Meanwhile, IT strives to reduce the burden of print servers and print driver management across the enterprise while grappling with the realities of feature limitations in universal printing solutions.

Process Fusion’s UniPrint solves these issues and many more. Available on-premises (Infinity Suite) or as a SaaS platform (InfinityCloud), UniPrint dramatically simplifies print management in the modern enterprise with unmatched printer virtualization and security capabilities.

Take Control of Enterprise Printing with UniPrint

Solve complex challenges with UniPrint and virtualize printers with unmatched compatibility. Streamline printer and print driver management and gain observability into your printing landscape.

Citrix

Direct IP Printing

Eliminate traditional print servers and maintenance. UniPrint InfinityCloud and Infinity Suite use a centralized management system and Direct IP printing to keep print jobs local and eliminate overhead.  This simplifies the IT infrastructure and reduces costs.

Enhanced Security Features

UniPrint offers robust security measures such as 256-bit encryption and secure pull printing. These features go beyond the basic security provisions typically found in traditional print servers and some competitors, ensuring that all print jobs are securely processed and only released to authenticated users.

Universal Printing

UniPrint is particularly strong in its integration capabilities with VDI and server-based computing solutions like Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft. UniPrint’s universal printing is superior to those included with the VDI platforms and offers drastically greater compatibility with printing devices – from multi-function to label printers.

Management and Reporting

UniPrint provides advanced management and reporting tools that offer detailed insights into print usage, efficiency, and troubleshooting. These tools allow IT to manage print operations effectively, optimize resource usage, and make informed decisions about their print environment.

Contactless Printing

Users can print and release print jobs from any device including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chromebook devices. Using the mobile app, users can securely release print jobs without having to directly interface with the printer.

Vendor-Agnostic and Integration

UniPrint integrates with popular enterprise print solutions from Xerox, HP, Ricoh, and Lexmark. Seamlessly deploy & manage printers regardless of vendor or environment, while supporting both office A3 devices, as well as home printers.

Have More Questions?

How does UniPrint handle printer driver management across multiple operating systems?

UniPrint manages printer drivers centrally, using its virtual print queue to abstract driver management from individual user devices. This allows UniPrint to provide a universal driver solution that works across all operating systems, streamlining the printing process and reducing compatibility issues.

Can UniPrint integrate with existing enterprise management systems like Active Directory?

Yes, UniPrint integrates seamlessly with Active Directory and other LDAP services for user authentication and management. This integration facilitates centralized control over print permissions and audit trails, enhancing security and compliance.

What are the specific security protocols UniPrint uses to safeguard print data?

UniPrint employs several security measures, including 256-bit encryption for data in transit and at rest, as well as secure pull printing features that require user authentication at the device. These protocols ensure that sensitive documents are protected from unauthorized access throughout the printing process.

Does UniPrint support mobile and remote printing, and if so, how is it implemented?

UniPrint offers robust mobile and remote printing capabilities, allowing users to print from any device, anywhere, via a secure internet connection. This is facilitated through its cloud printing features, which connect mobile devices to network printers without the need for VPNs or complex configurations.

How does UniPrint optimize print workflows in large organizations with multiple branches?

UniPrint optimizes print workflows by centralizing print management and leveraging its intelligent print routing technology. This allows the system to direct print jobs to the most appropriate printers based on location, workload, and cost considerations, improving efficiency and reducing waste.

What type of reporting and analytics does UniPrint provide, and how can it help in IT audits?

UniPrint offers comprehensive reporting and analytics tools that track detailed information about all print activities. These reports include user print behaviors, device usage statistics, and compliance records, which are invaluable for IT audits and for optimizing print strategies.

Can UniPrint be used in cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructures?

Yes, in addition to Citrix (on-prem or DaaS) and Horizon, UniPrint is fully compatible with cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructures like Amazon WorkSpaces and Azure Virtual Desktop. It integrates seamlessly into these environments, providing consistent and secure printing capabilities across cloud-hosted and on-premises setups.

How does UniPrint offer advantages over Citrix Universal Printing?

UniPrint offers significant advantages over Citrix Universal Printing by providing a more flexible and secure printing solution that operates independently of any specific virtualization platform. Unlike Citrix, which often requires vendor-specific drivers installed within Citrix images to fully support printer features that Citrix’s Universal Printing and Universal Print Server solutions cannot handle, UniPrint’s architecture eliminates this need, ensuring full printer functionality without complicating the Citrix environment with driver management or sacrificing printer features for end-users. This streamlined approach not only enhances security with end-to-end encryption and secure pull printing but also simplifies management through a user-friendly, centralized system. These features make UniPrint an ideal choice for organizations seeking comprehensive print management capabilities across diverse IT landscapes.

What features are unavailable with an on-premises deployment of UniPrint compared to using InfinityCloud?

Deploying UniPrint on-premises rather than using InfinityCloud can lead to the absence of several cloud-based features. Primarily, the on-premises version lacks the automatic updates and scalability offered by InfinityCloud. This means that updates must be manually managed and installed, which can delay access to new features and security enhancements. Additionally, the on-premises deployment may not support certain cloud-specific features such as advanced mobile and remote printing capabilities, which rely on cloud infrastructure to provide seamless access and integration. Another significant difference is the potential lack of redundancy and disaster recovery options that are naturally integrated into cloud services, requiring additional infrastructure and planning to achieve similar levels of availability and data protection in an on-premises setup.
