The Problem with Enterprise Printing (And Some Solutions)

Nowadays, it's impossible to imagine an enterprise without the cloud. The cloud provides scalability, reliability, optimized resources and improved productivity. Most importantly, the cloud mobilizes business solutions.

But while cloud networks can bring together systems that operate on opposite worlds, printing is one thing that still remains a challenge.

Today, every resource is being virtualized. However, printing cannot be completely virtualized, as it entails creating physical copies of the content that's being printed. So, you need a physical printer in the network.

Printing Challenges in Modern Enterprises The main challenge for enterprise printing is the range of end user devices -- from desktops, laptops, smartphones and wearables to various Internet of Things (IoT) devices -- in an enterprise network. Each device type spans different models and makes.

With many enterprises operating from multiple locations and countries, each employee would ideally be able to print a document from anywhere and from any device. Cloud printing solves this challenge to some extent by integrating all the printing devices across the infrastructure such that you can connect to the cloud print server and print a document from any location and from any device.

However, the main challenge with cloud printing is that IT administrators have to include drivers for each device, model and make in the server's printer database. As devices keep changing, administrator have to dynamically update this database.

Along with diversified devices, administrators have to deal with diversified network deployments such as public, private and hybrid. Administrators have to integrate these networks for easy and instant access of devices while not compromising on security.

Another challenge is that most cloud printing solutions operate in a public cloud. So, data has to travel to a public cloud before reaching the printer. This can be a serious concern for enterprises that deal with sensitive data and must comply with various regulations.

Here are some printing management tools available for enterprise networks that can help alleviate at least some of these issues:

Easy Print for Windows Server 2016 In a Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environment, in order to access a local client printer, administrators have to install the drivers for each device on the server. While some printers require exact drivers, others can be mapped with drivers installed on the server.

Enter Microsoft Easy Print in Windows Server RDS 2016. The Easy Print feature automatically gets installed when you enable RDS and can be configured via Group Policy. Easy Print makes it easy to map client printer drivers with the server.

However, Easy Print is specific to Client Printer Redirection and doesn't work for network printers. Another challenge with Easy Print is that you cannot make it a default option. If the server detects a new printer device on the network and there are no drivers installed, Microsoft-native drivers are automatically installed. So, many printers will use these native drivers instead of the Easy Print driver. As such, the RDS server will host thousands of printer drivers.

Moreover, this feature is only available for Windows clients.
