Start Free TrialBook an Educational Demo Educational Printing ## Why Campus Printing Gets Messy Fast Education printing is rarely centralized. It spans departments, buildings, labs, and shared spaces, with BYOD devices and constantly changing access needs, which turns "simple printing" into tickets, risks, and budget leakage. ### Campus Complexity Faculties and departments run different printers, vendors, and rules across buildings and satellite locations, leaving central IT responsible without having one consistent view. ### User & Device Diversity Students, faculty, researchers, staff, and guests print from Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows devices, tablets, and phones. Legacy setups struggle when access and permissions vary by role and location. #### Tickets, Risk, and Waste Queues fail at the worst times, sensitive pages get left on shared trays, and costs rise without clear reporting for finance teams, departmental admins, and campus leadership. ## A Cloud Printing Platform Built for Education ## Goodbye Print Servers.

Learn More About the ezeep Hub ## Frequently Asked Questions Curious about how it all works? Here's everything you wanted to know about ezeep's cloud printing solution! ##### How does cloud printing work in schools and universities? Cloud printing replaces on-campus print servers with a cloud-managed platform that connects students, faculty, and staff to campus printers from any device. With ezeep, users are synced from the school's identity provider (Azure ID, Google), printers are connected via the ezeep Hub or Connector, and print jobs are rendered in the cloud. No drivers are installed on any device, and IT manages the entire campus print environment from a single web console. ##### Can students print from Chromebooks, iPads, and personal laptops on campus? Yes. ezeep supports printing from Windows, macOS, iOS, ChromeOS, and Android without installing device-specific drivers. Students print from Chromebooks in the library, MacBooks in the dorm, or their phone between classes. The experience is the same regardless of device type, which eliminates the compatibility issues that typically generate IT support tickets in BYOD campus environments. ##### How do universities keep exam papers and student records secure when printing on shared printers? ezeep's Pull Printing feature holds print jobs in a secure cloud queue until the authorized user authenticates at the printer, using a campus ID card, smartphone app, or QR code. Documents are never left sitting in an output tray waiting to be collected. Print data is encrypted and deleted immediately after the job completes. This protects sensitive materials like exam papers, transcripts, and HR documents on shared campus printers. ##### Can schools track printing costs by department and set student print quotas? Yes. ezeep provides usage reporting by user, group, and department, giving administrators and finance teams clear visibility into who is printing what and where. ##### How long does it take to set up cloud printing across a school or university campus? Most deployments are operational within hours to a day. Setup involves two steps: connecting campus printers to the cloud via the ezeep Hub or Connector, and syncing users from your identity provider (Entra ID or Google). Once connected, printers are assigned to buildings, departments, or user groups from the admin console. There are no print servers to install, no drivers to push to devices, and no per-machine configuration. ## Ready to Make Printing the Easy Part of Your Day? Give students and staff a printing experience that works across devices and buildings - and give IT one less recurring fire to put out.
