Printing is a basic business requirement. Yet many of us do not have the capability to print from anywhere using any device as situation demands. Many IT departments are still struggling with the complexities of printer driver management.

Meanwhile, virtualization and cloud computing, mobile work style and BOYD trends add more challenges to enterprise printing, and brings security and compliance issues to the top of the agenda for C-level executives. Print security is much more than protecting gigabytes in a sealed room. Consider the risks of security breaches and potential damages when a sensitive document is printed and left unattended on a shared printer in a public environment. Forward-thinking organizations must future-proof their printing environments to provide worry-free printing with security and compliance at reduced costs.

UniPrint Infinity™ is your solution.

“We needed a print solution that would cost effectively, add value to our IT infrastructure and support our complex daily printing requirements. UniPrint provided a comprehensive solution that was easy to install and integrate, worked seamlessly with our existing network environments and provided the security we were looking for to protect confidential documents.”

Sheranga Jayasinghe Sunrise Health Region, Canada

“Without a tool like UniPrint, if you are doing print redirection in a terminal server environment or printing in the cloud, you are going to have problems. When our clients ask if we offer a virtualized printing solution we mention UniPrint and they are often familiar with them. All of our printing headaches have been solved.”

How UniPrint Infinity™ Works

1 2 3

4

Connecting to the UniPrint Application Server, a user prints from any application to one virtual print queue (VPQ).

UniPrint Universal Printer Driver (UPD) converts and encrypts the print data into a PDF print job and stores it in a holding server.

The user authenticates on the vPad and selects the document for printing.

The document is “pulled” or released for printing to the selected printer in close proximity.

Simplify Print ManagementDo more with less! Using UniPrint Infinity™, IT administrators only need to install and manage one UniPrint™ Universal Printer Driver (UPD) on the application server(s), and manage one Virtual Print Queue (VPQ). Administrators are also able to manage and assign printers to any remote location from the UniPrint Management Console. This eliminates the lengthy installation and certification processes, and print driver incompatibility issues that used to plague IT departments when adding or upgrading applications, client or printing devices to the network. With printer incompatibilities out of the way, printing is fast and stable, and help desk calls are greatly reduced. UniPrint UPD is especially beneficial for multi-platform virtualized environments, where large numbers of users keep logging on and off all the time. UniPrint Infinity also allows IT administrators to create custom printer profiles (such as stapling, hole-punching, duplexing and monochrome) per printer or per printer driver.

Improve Security and ComplianceHighly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance, legal and government cannot afford to leave print security to chances. UniPrint Infinity offers dual print security through PDF encryption, and user-authenticated pull printing via the vPad device. When a user authenticates on the vPad, it “pulls” or releases the selected print job to a printer in close proximity to the vPad. The vPad is fully compatible with any smart card reader. Any existing RFID/HID smart card currently employed by an organization can be easily registered at the vPad without any customization.

The User Print Statistics and Print Archiving features provide valuable enterprise-wide insight into the printing activities of a company. Organizations can track and securely store print-related usage information, including the user ID, domain, printer ID, file name, date and number of print jobs in black and white or color, in the statistics database.

Enhance Printing FunctionalityPrinting is fast and easy, the way it should be. Users across the network will see one printer only – UniPrint. Whether they are working in the office, at home, in a branch location or outside the country, users can print from any application, on any client device (including thick and thin clients, mobile and smart devices), to any printer through the Virtual Print Queue. Print commands sent to busy or non-functioning printers can be re-directed to other available printers for immediate printing, ensuring minimal work disruption across your enterprise.

Enterprise-wide Cost SavingsIn a virtualized or cloud environment, UniPrint Infinity is the only managed print solution that offers a universal printer driver with all-platform, all-client capabilities, and is printer-vendor independent. UniPrint Infinity saves the costs and time to standardize your printer fleet or outsource the management of office printing services, while allowing the organization to maintain internal control of your printer environment.
