Simply link your existing devices to ezeep's secure cloud, manage permissions, and start printing from any device instantly. 1 #### Connect Printers Bring your existing printers into one cloud print platform - across offices, sites, and shared spaces - [without the usual driver chaos](/features/driverless-printing?hsLang=en). Once connected, you manage printers centrally, so users always see the right options when they hit "Print." 2 #### Sync Users & Access Sync users and groups from your identity system so access stays aligned automatically as people join, move teams, or leave. Set who can print where to keep things controlled without constant admin work. 3 #### Print from Any Device Users can print from [Windows](/use-cases/windows-printing?hsLang=en), [macOS](/use-cases/mac-ios-printing?hsLang=en), [Chromebook](/use-cases/chromeos-printing?hsLang=en), [mobile](/use-cases/mobile-byod-printing?hsLang=en), or [wherever work happens](/use-cases/hybrid-remote-printing?hsLang=en), without special setup headaches. The experience stays consistent [across locations](/use-cases/multi-location-printing?hsLang=en) and [devices](/use-cases/cross-platform-printing?hsLang=en), so printing just works even as your environment changes. Features & Benefits ## Printing in the Cloud Has Never Been So Easy ## Migrate At Your Own Pace Starting fresh? You can be live in minutes. Replacing an existing environment? Run ezeep in parallel with your print servers, migrate users in phases, and move printers over gradually. No big-bang cutover required. [See How ezeep Works Click to See How ezeep Works](https://www.ezeep.com/demo?hsLang=en) ## Reclaim the Hours Wasted on Print Management Packaging drivers, restarting spoolers, troubleshooting VPNs, manually onboarding users. ezeep automates or eliminates those tasks entirely, turning unpredictable fire drills into a centrally managed service. [See How Teams Save Click to See How Teams Save](https://www.ezeep.com/use-cases/it-cost-optimization?hsLang=en) ## Close Your Biggest Unseen Security Gap Every unencrypted print job and every forgotten document on a printer is a potential breach. ezeep secures printing by default with end-to-end encryption, authenticated job release, and complete activity logs. [Explore Security Features Click to Explore Security Features](https://www.ezeep.com/security-compliance?hsLang=en) ## Make Printing from Home Finally Work VPN-dependent printing creates a poor experience and a constant source of tickets. ezeep decouples printing from the corporate network, so your team prints securely from any device, anywhere. The right printers are available automatically. [Talk to a Specialist Click to Talk to a Specialist](https://www.ezeep.com/contact?hsLang=en) ## Stop Managing Users in Two Different Places ezeep integrates syncs users and groups directly from Entra ID or Google Workspace., keeping printer access aligned with your directory automatically. Through the ezeep API and Print App for Services, the same platform also handles backend application printing, so one console covers both users and automated workflows.

Move campus printing to the cloud and reduce the day-to-day maintenance burden. Have fewer patches, fewer queue mysteries, and fewer "it broke overnight" surprises. Server-Free Centralized Less Upkeep ## One Experience Across Campus Support the real education device mix - Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows laptops, tablets, and phones - across libraries, labs, dorms, and shared printers without special steps per department or "this printer only works on that OS." Campus-Wide Cross-Platform User-Friendly ## Permissions That Actually Make Sense Tie printer visibility and access to identity and groups, so students, staff, faculty, and researchers see the right printers by role, building, and department - all without constant manual adjustments. Role-Based Location-Aware Consistent ## Temporary Access, Without Temporary Chaos Support guest lecturers, visiting scholars, events, and short-term programs with controlled access that doesn't create recurring IT work or one-off setups. Temporary Access Controlled Low Effort ## Confidential Pages Stay With The Right Person Reduce tray exposure in busy shared spaces. Pull Printing helps ensure jobs only release when the user authenticates at the printer with their school ID, helping protect exams, registrar documents, and sensitive student records. Private Release Less Mix-Ups Auditable ## Visibility Finance Can Actually Use Understand usage across departments and locations, support quotas and accountability, and make it easier for busier and finance teams to track print spend without turning IT into the print police.  Measurable Accountable Budget-Friendly ## Cost Recovery Without The Busywork For campuses that charge students to print, ezeepCampus adds Self-Join onboarding and credit-based printing, so students and staff can self-serve while your institution keeps pricing and access under control.

Here's everything you wanted to know about ezeep's cloud printing solution! ##### What is a cloud printing platform? A [cloud printing platform](/learn/what-is-cloud-printing?hsLang=en) moves print management out of on-premises servers and into the cloud. Instead of maintaining print servers, driver packages, and site-specific configurations, IT manages printers, users, and policies from a single web console. Print jobs are rendered in the cloud and delivered to the target printer, so users can print from any device and location without drivers, VPNs, or network dependencies. ##### What does ezeep replace in a traditional print setup? ezeep [replaces print servers](/use-cases/serverless-printing?hsLang=en), [driver management](/features/driverless-printing?hsLang=en), VPN-dependent printing, GPO-based printer mapping, and on-premises queue management. Everything runs in the cloud: rendering, queuing, access control, policies, and updates. The result is one consistent printing experience across every device, platform, and location. ##### Does ezeep work with existing printers? Yes. ezeep supports thousands of [modern and legacy printers](https://support.ezeep.com/en/support/solutions/43000372958). The ezeep Hub connects older USB and network printers to the cloud without PCs or print servers, so most organizations use what they already have. ##### What devices and operating systems does ezeep support? ezeep supports [Windows](/use-cases/windows-printing?hsLang=en), [macOS](/use-cases/mac-ios-printing?hsLang=en), [ChromeOS](/use-cases/chromeos-printing?hsLang=en), [iOS, Android](/use-cases/mobile-byod-printing?hsLang=en), and [virtual desktop environments](/use-cases/virtual-desktop-printing?hsLang=en) including [Azure Virtual Desktop](/use-cases/azure-virtual-desktop-printing?hsLang=en), [Citrix](/use-cases/citrix-printing?hsLang=en), [Omnissa Horizon](/use-cases/omnissa-horizon-printing?hsLang=en), Parallels, and [Windows 365](/use-cases/windows-365-printing?hsLang=en). Users print from laptops, tablets, thin clients, mobile devices, and browsers without installing drivers. Users can also use the [ezeep API, MCP](/developers-api?hsLang=en) or [Print App for Services](/features/print-app-for-services?hsLang=en) as support applications. ##### How does ezeep handle print security? All print data is encrypted in transit and rendered in isolated tenant environments. Pull Printing holds jobs until the user authenticates at the device. Printer access is controlled through identity providers like Entra ID or Google Workspace, and every print job is logged with user, printer, and location details for compliance and auditing.
