What is cloud print?

In regards to solutions for cloud print enablement, there are 6 primary benefits businesses are looking for in a cloud print app or software:

1. No print server – You don’t need to purchase a print server. Nor do you need to invest in regular maintenance and updating of a print server. That’s all included in the cloud service model.
2. BYOD enablement – Enables local and offsite printing for iPads, iPhones, Android, Windows, Chromebook, macOS, and Linux. No matter the device, a strong cloud print solution does away with compatibility concerns or having to install and deploy drivers.
3. Cuts costs – No print server or ongoing maintenance reduces IT spend on associated expenses for hardware and software.
4. Free IT time – Less infrastructure means you don’t just save money, but you save time for your sysadmins and IT managers. By cutting out print server maintenance, their daily duties get freed up and they can invest their working hours into long-term projects.
5. Continuous delivery – The beauty of the cloud is it removes the need for manual software updates and patches. Continuous delivery of fixes and features means your cloud print solution is always running at maximum capacity.
6. Ease-of-use – Cloud print makes printing easy no matter what mobile device or platform you’re using. Print from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to any MFD/printer/copier.
