Network Printer Sharing
ElipPrinter Converts any Printer into a Network Print Server. Regardless predictions of a
‘paperless’ world, the reality is that paper printouts are still needed, albeit at a lesser volume.
The need for a computer printer will never completely disappear, either as a written record of a
purchase agreement or contract, or simply as a choice to facilitate easier reading of an article
or in-depth white paper.
An ideal plan enables printers to be shared, saving time and resources in establishing and
maintaining the system. In addition, it is necessary to support your laptop users who regularly
‘roam the halls’, working from a different location depending upon the time of the day and the week
of the month.
ElipPrinter converts any stand alone, USB enabled printer into a shared network resource, addressing
the challenge of how to establish remote, wireless printers into network printers, capable of printing
jobs from multiple employees throughout your network environment. As an added benefit, ElipPrinter lets
you convert traditional printers into ‘network-enabled’ versions, which tend to be more costly to
purchase and maintain.
ElipPrinter Benefits:
- Maximize printer availability – by setting up each printer as network-enabled, it is easy to
swap print destinations as needed, depending upon the type of printout and other print jobs in
the queue
- Dynamic system – print outs are easily routed to faster laser printers for long, text rich
documents, or to color printers for brochures, provided each printer is plugged into an
ElipSwitch appliance
- Enhanced printer access – wireless availability to printer resources ensures every employee
is provided access without laying cable throughout the office
- Flexible solution – adding in a new printer is as simple as plugging it in
- Cost effective – USB enabled local printers tend to be less expensive than ‘network’ printers
capable of supporting multiple, networked users
- Future proof your network – leveraging a managed service provider package that includes
equipment as part of the service removes the need to worry about device obsolescence
