Serverless Printing for Cloud-First Organizations
ezeep removes print servers entirely and doesn't replace them with something else to manage. Print jobs are rendered in the cloud, printers connect through a compact Hub, and IT manages everything from a single console. No servers, no drivers, no VPNs.
Why Print Servers Don't Belong in Modern IT
Maintenance That Never Stops
Print servers need patching, failover planning, OS updates, and regular troubleshooting. Every new printer model, OS update, or device type means another round of driver testing, packaging, and deployment. For something that's supposed to run quietly, they generate a steady stream of tickets and admin hours.
Infrastructure That Scales in the Wrong Direction
Every new office or branch needs its own print server or a VPN connection back to a central one. When a server goes down, every user connected to it stops printing. The more locations you add, the more hardware, licensing, and support overhead you carry, with no efficiency gains to show for it.
A Known Attack Surface
The Windows Print Spooler remains a target. Every on-premises print server is an endpoint that needs patching, hardening, and monitoring. Removing print servers removes an entire class of vulnerability from your environment.
Print Management Without Servers, Drivers, or VPNs
Remove Print Servers and Everything That Comes With Them
Eliminate the hardware costs, software licenses, failover planning, driver management, and admin hours that come with print servers.
ezeep moves print rendering entirely to the cloud, so there's nothing left on-premises to maintain.
Connect Any Printer to the Cloud in Minutes
The ezeep Hub replaces your print server with a compact, maintenance-free device that connects any network or USB printer to the cloud.
Plug-and-play, no on-site configuration, and it can be shipped pre-configured to any location.
Manage Every Printer from One Console
Assign printers, update settings, apply policies, and troubleshoot across all locations from a single web dashboard.
No more site-by-site configurations or remote desktop sessions into print servers.
Users Print Without IT Involvement
Users print from Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, and Android without installing drivers or contacting IT.
Printers are assigned automatically based on identity and location.
Less Infrastructure. More Calm.
Move campus printing to the cloud and reduce the day-to-day maintenance burden. Have fewer patches, fewer queue mysteries, and fewer "it broke overnight" surprises.
One Experience Across Campus
Support the real education device mix - Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows laptops, tablets, and phones - across libraries, labs, dorms, and shared printers without special steps per department or "this printer only works on that OS."
Permissions That Actually Make Sense
Tie printer visibility and access to identity and groups, so students, staff, faculty, and researchers see the right printers by role, building, and department - all without constant manual adjustments.
Temporary Access, Without Temporary Chaos
Support guest lecturers, visiting scholars, events, and short-term programs with controlled access that doesn't create recurring IT work or one-off setups.
Confidential Pages Stay With The Right Person
Reduce tray exposure in busy shared spaces. Pull Printing helps ensure jobs only release when the user authenticates at the printer with their school ID, helping protect exams, registrar documents, and sensitive student records.
Visibility Finance Can Actually Use
Understand usage across departments and locations, support quotas and accountability, and make it easier for busier and finance teams to track print spend without turning IT into the print police.
Cost Recovery Without The Busywork
For campuses that charge students to print, ezeepCampus adds Self-Join onboarding and credit-based printing, so students and staff can self-serve while your institution keeps pricing and access under control.
What IT Stops Doing When Print Servers Are Gone
No Server Maintenance or Failover Planning
No Driver Testing or Deployment
No VPNs or Site-Specific Configurations
No Print Server Licensing or Hardware Refresh
The Hardware That Replaces Your Print Server
The ezeep Hub is a compact device that connects your printers to the cloud without servers, VPNs, or on-site IT. It doesn't host drivers, queues, or user data. It simply provides a secure outbound connection between your printers and the ezeep Cloud.
Ship it pre-configured to any location, plug it into the network, and the printers are live. When you need to scale, add another Hub. When you need to move, unplug and redeploy.

Serverless Printing vs. Cloud Print Management
Serverless printing removes the print server. Cloud-managed printing gives you a better way to manage it. ezeep supports both, so you can centralize management today and go fully serverless when you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is serverless printing?
Serverless printing eliminates on-premises print servers entirely. With ezeep, print jobs are sent to the cloud where they're rendered and routed to the correct printer automatically. The ezeep Hub connects printers to the cloud without servers, VPNs, or driver management.
How does the ezeep Hub replace a print server?
The ezeep Hub is a compact, maintenance-free device that connects network and USB printers to ezeep's cloud platform. Unlike a print server, it doesn't host drivers, queues, or user data. It provides a secure outbound connection and can be shipped pre-configured to any location.
What's the difference between serverless printing and cloud-managed printing?
Cloud-managed printing centralizes control in a web console but may still rely on print servers on-premises. Serverless printing with ezeep removes print servers entirely, handles rendering in the cloud, and eliminates drivers on endpoints. ezeep supports both approaches, so you can centralize first and go fully serverless when you're ready.
How does ezeep compare to Microsoft Universal Print?
Universal Print eliminates print servers but requires Microsoft 365 licensing, Intune for deployment, and compatible printers or connectors. ezeep works across Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, and Android without additional Microsoft licensing, supports any printer through the ezeep Hub, and uses cloud rendering to eliminate drivers on every endpoint.
Can ezeep run alongside existing print servers during migration?
Yes. ezeep can operate in parallel with your current print server infrastructure. Migrate one site or one team at a time, validate that everything works, and decommission print servers at your own pace. No big-bang cutover required.
Ready to Retire Your Print Servers?
Remove print servers, eliminate driver management, and cut ongoing IT costs without changing how your users print.
