Start Free TrialSee It In Action Hybrid & Remote Printing ## IT Doesn’t Need Better Printing. It Needs Less Printing Work. Hybrid and remote teams still need to print at times, and IT pays the price in tickets, workarounds, and wasted time. ### Home Offices Are a Wild Mix Every employee works with a different printer, OS, router, and Wi-Fi setup. IT can’t manage or support environments they can’t see. ### VPN Printing Breaks - A Lot VPNs slow down printing, distort documents, or simply block traffic. Some home networks don’t pass print jobs at all. #### Virtual Desktops Add Friction Remote desktops don’t always discover nearby printers. Driver mapping fails. And local/remote redirection is unreliable. ## Simple, Secure Printing for Your Distributed Workforce ## Eliminate the Top Helpdesk Complaint: Printer Drivers Stop troubleshooting home printers. With ezeep's driverless printing, users can print to any device - at home or in the office - without a single driver installation. We handle the complexity in the cloud so your team can close the recurring tickets and focus on what matters.

Credit-Based ## How Hybrid & Remote Printing Works with ezeep Go from "I need this printed" to page-in-hand in three quick, simple steps. Connect your printers to the cloud, add your people, and print from any device, anywhere. #### Connect Your Printer Plug in an ezeep Hub or install the ezeep Connector at any location. Your printers are online and cloud-managed in minutes, whether they're at HQ, a branch office, or someone's home. #### Add Your People Sync users from your directory (for example Entra ID) so access follows identity and groups. Assign the right printers automatically, without manual printer mapping every time someone joins, moves teams, or changes locations. #### Print from Any Device Home office, headquarters, hotel lobby. Users pick a printer and print from any device. No drivers, no VPN, no "which printer am I connected to?" calls to IT. Meet the ezeep Hub ## Make Any Home or Office Printer Cloud-Ready The ezeep Hub connects your existing printers to the ezeep Cloud - so remote and hybrid employees can print to on-site devices from anywhere, without leaving a PC running next to the printer. Learn More About the ezeep Hub Work Environments ## Designed for Every Kind of Environment #### Home Office Printing Employees print documents, customer material, and daily paperwork from their home setup without configuring drivers or connecting to the office network. #### In Office Printing When hybrid workers come into HQ, their assigned printers are already there. Same login, same dialog, same experience as working from home. #### Coworking & Shared Space Teams working flexibly can print to shared space printers, send jobs to their home office printer, or release jobs at the main office. #### Virtual Desktop Printing Whether users connect through Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix, or Horizon, they get one consistent printing experience across every session and location. Security & Compliance ## Controlled, Protected Printing Outside the Office Remote printing doesn't have to mean anything goes. ezeep supports a protected, controlled approach. #### Encrypted Print Delivery Print jobs are encrypted end-to-end from device to printer. No unencrypted data crosses the network, and each tenant's traffic is fully isolated. #### Identity-Based Access Printer access is governed by identity, not network location. Users authenticate through Entra ID or Google, and IT controls which printers each person or group can reach. #### No Local Data Left Behind Print data is processed in the cloud and delivered directly to the printer. Nothing is cached or stored on the user's device or local network. #### Visibility & Audit Trails IT can see who printed what, when, and on which printer. Activity is logged centrally for compliance, cost allocation, and usage governance.

Here's everything you wanted to know about ezeep's cloud printing solution! ##### How does cloud printing work for remote and hybrid employees? Cloud printing routes print jobs through a secure cloud service instead of relying on local print servers or VPN connections. With ezeep, remote employees send print jobs from any device to any printer connected through the ezeep Hub or Connector, regardless of whether they are at home, in the office, or at a coworking space. No drivers are installed on the user's device, and no VPN is required. ##### Do remote employees need to install printer drivers to print from home? No. ezeep uses cloud rendering to process print jobs entirely in the cloud, which means no printer drivers are installed or managed on any user device. Employees print from Windows, Mac, Chromebook,iOS, or Android without IT needing to configure anything on their machine. This eliminates one of the most common sources of remote printing support tickets. ##### Can employees working from home print to printers at the office? Yes. When an ezeep Hub is connected at the office, remote employees can send print jobs to office printers from anywhere. The document is rendered in the cloud and delivered to the office printer as if the employee were on-site. This is commonly used by legal firms, financial services teams, and other organizations where documents need to be printed and physically dispatched from a central location. ##### Does ezeep work with Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix, and Windows 365? Yes. ezeep integrates natively with Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 Cloud PC, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and Omnissa Horizon. It replaces unreliable printer redirection with a direct cloud printing path that delivers faster output, consistent formatting, and no driver conflicts inside the virtual session. IT manages all printer assignments centrally through the ezeep console. ##### How does ezeep keep remote printing secure without a VPN? ezeep encrypts all print data in transit using TLS 1.3 and processes print jobs through its cloud infrastructure hosted on Microsoft Azure. Print data is deleted immediately after the job completes. The ezeep Hub uses only outbound connections to the cloud, meaning no inbound ports need to be opened on the local network. User access is controlled through identity-based authentication via Azure ID or Google, and Pull Printing ensures documents are only released when the authorized user is at the printer. ## Ready to Simplify Printing for Your Hybrid Team?
