The Problem

Printing Waste Adds Up Fast - In Cost, Time, and Environmental Impact

Most organizations waste 20-30% of their print output through abandoned print jobs, driver failures, and unnecessary hardware replacements. These inefficiencies drain budgets and inflate carbon footprints, often without anyone noticing.

No Print Visibility Means Waste Goes Unnoticed

Without visibility into who is printing what, where, and how much, organizations cannot track abandoned jobs, measure resource consumption, or report on environmental impact. Print costs and carbon footprints quietly escalate without oversight.

Comparison

Traditional Print Infrastructure vs. Cloud-Based Sustainability

The difference isn’t just technical - it’s measurable in waste reduction, cost savings, and environmental impact.

Traditional On-Prem Printing

A single print server consumes as much energy annually as a household appliance running non-stop

Thousands of pages per month are printed and never collected

Printers are sent to landfill because of software incompatibility, not hardware failure

No way to measure your print environment's carbon footprint

Sustainable printing policies exist on paper but cannot be enforced in practice

ezeep Cloud Printing

No always-on print servers drawing power in your building

Nothing prints until a user physically releases the job at the device

Older printers stay connected and productive regardless of OS or driver changes

Track pages saved, color vs. mono shifts, and print waste reduction over time

Duplex, mono, and access rules enforced automatically, not just suggested
The Solution

A More Sustainable Way to Print - Powered by the Cloud

Enforce Resource-Saving Habits by Default

Hoping users choose to "print responsibly" rarely works.

Set global rules to enforce double-sided printing or guide users toward black-and-white - driving down resource consumption without requiring user action.

Stop Abandoned Print Jobs from Piling Up

That stack of forgotten documents by the printer isn't just a security risk - it's a massive source of wasted paper, toner, and energy.

ezeep's secure Pull Printing ensures documents are only released when the user is physically at the device, dramatically cutting paper consumption.

pull-printing-printer

Turn Off Your Last Print Server Forever

Every server running in your environment consumes energy 24/7 and contributes to your carbon footprint.

By moving all print management to our multi-tenant cloud platform, you can decommission your entire print server fleet and directly reduce energy consumption and e-waste.

stop-babysitting-print-servers

Stop Wasting Resources on Failed Print Jobs

Every misprinted document caused by a driver conflict or formatting error is a complete waste of paper and toner.

Our cloud rendering engine ensures every job is perfectly formatted for its destination printer, eliminating reprints and unnecessary waste.

Let the Platform Eliminate Waste Automatically

Sustainability programs that depend on user behavior don't scale. ezeep removes waste at the system level: jobs only print when collected, output is rendered correctly the first time, and resource-saving policies apply everywhere automatically.

How ezeep Makes Mobile & BYOD Printing Easy

Go from "I need this printed" to page-in-hand in three quick, simple steps. Invite users with Self-Join using a link or QR code, choose which printers they can access, then let them print from the ezeep app or web app and release securely on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about how it all works? Here’s everything you wanted to know about ezeep’s cloud printing solution!
Can we reduce print waste without restricting what people print?

Yes. Pull Printing, cloud rendering, and enforced print defaults eliminate waste at the system level: abandoned jobs, reprints, and unnecessary color output disappear without limiting what users can actually print.

How does removing print servers help sustainability?

Print servers run 24/7 whether anyone prints or not. Removing them eliminates always-on energy consumption, reduces hardware that eventually becomes e-waste, and directly shrinks your organization's on-premises carbon footprint.

Can we keep using our current printers?

Absolutely. The ezeep Hub connects existing hardware to the cloud - including older models, USB-only devices, and printers with discontinued driver support - so you don't create e-waste in the name of reducing it.

Does cloud printing actually have a smaller carbon footprint than on-prem?

Yes. Shared multi-tenant cloud infrastructure is significantly more energy-efficient than individual always-on print servers running in every office. Add the elimination of driver-related reprints and abandoned jobs, and the footprint shrinks further.

How quickly will we see measurable sustainability results?

Most organizations see reduced print waste within weeks of enabling Pull Printing and automated defaults. Reportable data on usage trends and resource savings is typically available within 90 days.
