Zero Infrastructure Overhead. # Cloud Printing Without the Print Server Headache The ezeep Hub replaces your print server with a single compact device. It connects your local printers to the cloud, and handles everything the old server did - minus the Windows machine, the driver packages, and the post-Patch Tuesday scramble. Set it up once per location and it run quietly in the background while your team focuses on work that actually matters.

Without Anyone Nursing It. No servers. No driver packages. No one restarting anything at 7am. The ezeep Hub handles the infrastructure so your team handles everything else. ### No Spooler. No Scramble. The Hub manages queuing, routing, and job delivery without a Windows service underneath it. No restarts after Patch Tuesday, no firefighting when it hangs, no failed overnight batches, and no recurring ticket category quietly consuming your team's time week after week. ### No Drivers On Any Device Or System Cloud rendering handles the translation between source and printer, so users print from Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, or Android without a driver install. The Hub also acts as a print endpoint for ERPs, EHRs, WMS, and other backend systems. #### No Servers at Every Location One Hub per site connects your local printers to the ezeep Cloud automatically. Run multiple Hubs at a location if the environment demands it. Adding a site doesn't mean another server to procure, configure, or maintain. Just a Hub on the network and you're done. How It Works ## See How The ezeep Hub Works This simple workflow is ideal for IT teams managing distributed offices, coworking locations, retail branches, or remote sites. No external technicians needed, no server upkeep, and no wasted hours. 1 #### Plug In and Let the Hub Find Your Printers Connect the Hub to power and your network. It automatically discovers every printer on the local network and registers them in your ezeep dashboard. No configuration files. No manual driver loading. No one needs to be on-site to make it work. 2 #### Assign and Manage from the ezeep Console Open your ezeep dashboard and your printers are already there. Assign them to users or groups and set [print policies](/features/policies?hsLang=en), all from wherever you are. Backend systems like ERPs and warehouse platforms connect through a [service user](/features/print-app-for-services?hsLang=en), so the same assignment model covers everything that needs to print, whether there's a human involved or not. 3 #### Users Print from Any Device Users [print from any device](/use-cases/cross-platform-printing?hsLang=en) without installing anything, and systems print through the Hub as a reliable endpoint. Jobs route, deliver, and complete, while IT stays out of it entirely. Security ## Print Infrastructure Has a Security Problem. The Hub Doesn't. Only 19% of IT decision-makers are completely confident in the security of their print infrastructure. That number keeps falling, and it shouldn't be surprising. 50 + Print Spooler vulnerabilities since PrintNightmare (2021) 68 % Increase in print-related security incidents reported since 2016 (HP) 19 % Of IT leaders completely confident in their print security position (Quocirca) ## The Hub Changes the Equation The Windows Print Spooler is out of the picture. Driver installation on endpoints is eliminated. There's no print server left for attackers to compromise. The Hub connects to the ezeep platform via outbound-only connections, so nothing opens in your firewall. Your printers also stay isolated from the corporate network and the internet entirely. They sit on their own network segment, reachable only through the Hub. The attack surface doesn't shrink. It disappears. Print stops being the exception to Zero Trust and starts looking like everything else in your architecture. #### No Inbound Ports. Outbound-Only Connections. No Inbound Ports. Outbound-Only Connections. #### No Lateral Movement Surface On Network No Lateral Movement Surface On Network #### No Elevated Privileges Required on Endpoints No Elevated Privileges Required on Endpoints #### No Job Reaches Printer Without Authentication No Job Reaches Printer Without Authentication Work Environments ## One Hub. Any Environment. Zero Infrastructure Overhead. #### Corporate Offices & Distributed Teams One dashboard for every printer across every floor, office, and home setup. The Hub auto-discovers local printers and keeps them in your ezeep console without anyone needing to be on-site. Remote workers get the same managed print experience as the office - no VPN required, and no local server to depend on. [Corporate Offices & Distributed Teams](https://www.ezeep.com/industries/enterprise?hsLang=en) #### Warehouses & Operations High-volume environments running shipping labels, inventory tags, and packing slips through WMS, ERP, and fulfillment platforms need a print endpoint that doesn't go down. The Hub connects directly to your backend systems via a service account and keeps thermal, label, and legacy devices online. No local print server required. [Warehouses & Operations](https://www.ezeep.com/industries/warehousing?hsLang=en) #### Coworking Spaces Give members reliable self-service printing without giving them access to your infrastructure. The Hub integrates with ezeep's access controls so only authorized users can print, and only release their own documents. Badge tap or PIN at the device. Manageable from one dashboard across all your locations. [Coworking Spaces](https://www.ezeep.com/industries/coworking?hsLang=en) #### Public Services & Education Print environments serving mixed audiences (staff, students, volunteers, visitors) need reliable infrastructure that requires no on-site IT to maintain. The Hub brings every local printer into a single cloud-managed setup regardless of age or model, and keeps it running without anyone nursing it.

Here's everything you wanted to know about ezeep's cloud printing solution! ##### What is the difference between the ezeep Hub and a traditional print server? A [traditional print server](/learn/print-server-alternative?hsLang=en) is a Windows machine running a spooler service, managing drivers, and sitting on your network around the clock. The ezeep Hub does the same job - connecting printers to the network, managing queues, routing jobs, in a device the size of a small router that draws a fraction of the power and requires none of the maintenance. No Windows service to patch. No drivers to manage. No spooler to restart. It is a print server rebuilt from scratch for how printing should work now. ##### How long does it take to deploy the ezeep Hub at a new location? Most deployments take less than 15 minutes. Connect the Hub to power and your network, and it automatically discovers local printers and registers them in your ezeep dashboard. [Assign them to users](/features/printer-mapping?hsLang=en) or groups from wherever you are. No one needs to be on-site after the initial plug-in. ##### Does the ezeep Hub work with backend systems like ERPs and warehouse management platforms? Yes. The Hub works as a print endpoint for any system that needs to put something on paper: ERPs, EHRs, warehouse management systems, shipping platforms, and fulfilment software. [Backend systems connect](/features/print-app-for-services?hsLang=en) through a service user account using the same model as any other user. No local print infrastructure required. ##### How does ezeep handle user authentication and access control? ezeep connects to Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace, so your existing users, groups, and access policies apply directly. Native [ezeep user management](/features/user-management?hsLang=en) is also available for environments that don't need SSO. Users only see the [printers they're authorised to use](/features/my-printers?hsLang=en), and documents are only [released at the device](/features/pull-printing?hsLang=en) by badge tap or PIN. Nothing sits in a tray uncollected. ##### Does the ezeep Hub require any changes to our firewall or network? No firewall changes are required. The Hub makes outbound-only connections to the ezeep platform. Nothing opens inbound. Your printers don't need internet access or exposure to the general corporate network. They can sit on an isolated network segment reachable only by the Hub, which handles the connection to the cloud on their behalf. Back to top ## Ready to Replace Your Print Server?
