Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments like Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, VMware Workspace, and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops provide centralized access to desktops, apps, and data from any device and location. While VDI excels at administration and security, managing printing within these environments is often a challenge.

Many organizations resort to "redirecting" printers from a user's device into their virtual environment or building complex connections between cloud-based virtual environments and physical printers. This approach leads to hidden costs and ongoing maintenance struggles.

There is a better, more cost-effective, and reliable way to provide printing for users in virtual environments. This approach simplifies management and maintenance, ensuring printing just works without complex workarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

VDI printing refers to printing in a virtual desktop infrastructure environment where desktops, apps, and data are delivered centrally to users. This allows users to access resources from any device and location while maintaining administration and security.

A common challenge in VDI printing is that most users 'redirect' a printer from their local device to the virtual environment. Another difficulty involves setting up complex connections between cloud-based virtual environments and the physical printer locations, which can be costly and hard to manage.

ezeep offers a more reliable, cost-effective, and easier way to manage printing for users in virtual environments. It helps avoid the need for printer redirection or expensive cloud-to-printer connections, simplifying the overall printing process.

Yes, ezeep agents dynamically connect local printers for various operating systems, including PC, Mac, and IGEL. This broad compatibility ensures that users can print from a wide range of devices within their virtual environments.

Implementing ezeep for VDI printing can be done quickly, often in as little as 15 minutes. This quick setup time allows for rapid deployment and immediate improvement in printing capabilities within virtual environments.
