New ezeep Printer & Settings Pages

Written by Linda Martin | April 8, 2013

ezeep is dedicated to improving the user experience, continually refining its features based on real-world usage. The latest update introduces redesigned Printers and Settings Pages, making it simpler than ever for leaders to manage and share printers within their organizations. These enhancements ensure that connecting printers and customizing user access is intuitive and efficient, reflecting a commitment to responsive development that directly addresses user needs.

What are the updated Printers and Settings Pages for?

They are your central point for managing printing within your organization, letting leaders connect specific printers with different user groups. The Printers Page guides you through a simplified process for sharing your printers. The Settings Page allows you to customize who can use them and how, ensuring tailored access for various teams or individuals.

For example, a church pastor could create an ezeep group for their core team, granting unlimited, full-color printing on the office printer. A separate group for the church choir director might offer black-and-white only printing to manage costs, as they frequently print sheet music from an iPad. For the wider congregation, an ezeep churchgoers group with a special access code could be set up. This allows guests to print sermon notes on-site using a public printer, ensuring only those who truly want a paper copy receive one, reducing waste. Whatever the need, these tools help manage printing efficiently.

How have the pages improved?

Previously, users found the design unclear and difficult to navigate, leading to confusion about necessary actions. This feedback prompted a complete redesign, resulting in an updated platform that is more intuitive and user-friendly, directly addressing prior complexities.

What can you do differently now?

  • New focus on the most important information: how you share your printer.
  • Edit the name, address, and paper size of your printer directly on the page.
  • Prompts to share your printer with others if you haven't already.
  • Online printers are clearly indicated with a green line when active.
  • Offline printers are clearly indicated with a gray line when there is an issue.
  • Editing an existing printer or creating a new one directs you to a new settings page.
  • In settings, choose to share your printer within closed or open networks of users.
  • Set a password if your printer is shared within a network or publicly.
  • If you have the payment add-on, set a price per-page for printing.
  • Choose whether users can print in full color or black-and-white only.
