PrintMap Major Features

Enterprise Class

Corporate Centralised Printer Mapping Management tool.

Make a logical printer framework that matches your environments physical layout. This makes it easy for both IT and users to understand the printer infrastructure.

This product has been proven at scales with 1000s of printer across 100s of offices.

Self Service
Self-service tool allows users to easily find & manage their own printer mappings. Yet these printer assignments can still be viewed by administrators. This solves a common dilemma in traditional solutions that users who add their own printers do so without knowledge of IT.

Centrally Manage

Centrally manage all users default printers. All management is performed centrally, without the need for scripts or GPO, or other third-party solutions. Our management console is light weight and can be installed on servers or PC’s of the required administrators.

Improve Logon times
The Streamlined printer mapping technique improves logon times. We have found that GPO based mapping can add 10-20 seconds to the users logon in environments with a lot of printer mappings. Our solution does not query AD when a user logs on. Each user has an XML file with their personal printer requirements and only this is queried. This technique is extremely fast.

Granular Printer Control
Assign Printers to groups or individual users, we can work with AD groups if required, or if you wish to keep a cleaner environment don’t create an AD group for every printer or group of printers simply create the list of printers within the tool and manage the mappings against individual users AD accounts. This removes the bloat in AD and also deliver real unqiue mappings for each printer as opposed to trying to group them. This technique reduces the admin overhead and time to implement changes.

Manage Default Printers

Manage default printers down to a per user level. A user or an admin gets to choose the users default printer. This cuts down on support as IT can manage a users Default printer assignment within the tool. An admin can in effect run the self-service tool as the another user to manage that users printer assignments.

Reporting
All the printer information is centralised. This allows for reporting on printer assignments and un-used printers. This can help identify any underused or un-unsed printer devices. This can also help in migration as we know which users use which printers even if they added the printer themselves.

CSV file integration
To get you up and running you can import a CSV file. This makes for an easy migration from any existing script/GPO/Citrix policy based Printer mapping techniques

Cloud and VDI Ready
