Cloud Printing That Replaced Both Google and VPN Workarounds

When you spend your days traveling between client locations handling IT problems, the ability to print documents on the go is not a luxury. It is part of the job. After Google Cloud Print was discontinued, that ability disappeared, and the only alternative was a VPN connection that had to be activated before every single print job.

The Challenge

After Google Cloud Print was discontinued, Simon lost the ability to print while mobile. A VPN solution was technically possible, but it would have required activating the VPN connection before each print job, adding friction to every single document that needed to reach a printer.

"With ezeep, this process has been simplified significantly and every document can be sent to the printer instantly. This streamlines my work immensely."

The Solution

ezeep replaced Google Cloud Print and eliminated the need for a VPN workaround. Simon can now send any document to a printer instantly from wherever he is working, without activating a connection first.

"With ezeep, this process has been simplified significantly and every document can be sent to the printer instantly," says Simon. "This streamlines my work immensely."

The Outcome

Simon regained the mobile cloud printing capability he lost when Google Cloud Print was retired, but without the VPN overhead that would have been the alternative. Documents reach the printer immediately, and the workflow is seamless.

Why It Matters

Field IT providers and mobile professionals who lost Google Cloud Print faced a choice: set up a VPN for every print job, or find a true cloud replacement. ezeep provides the latter. For any solo IT professional or small MSP that needs to print on the go across multiple client locations, this is a straightforward, VPN-free solution.
