IT departments can centrally manage this functionality from the PrintMe Mobile administrative console making it convenient to control tens to hundreds of subnets from one location. When placed on a wireless subnet and used in conjunction with PrintMe Mobile software, the L100 appliance broadcasts the available printers so mobile devices on that subnet can print to any printer on the network. The appliance's technology is revolutionary in the way it manages the Bonjour protocol (AirPrint) within the enterprise. The L100 appliance solves the problem now plaguing organizations - the need to print from a variety of mobile devices to printers on other wireless subnets. The L100 appliance is easy to install and is available now through EFI's network of independent resellers. The L100 appliance also allows IT departments to provide secure Wi-Fi printing for guests from mobile devices outside the corporate network to printers inside the corporate firewall. By providing an often overlooked but critical user need for mobile printing, IT departments can increase productivity while reducing help desk costs.’Ĭlick here for more stories about EFI on L&L.com.EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, recently announced the PrintMe Mobile L100, a Linux-based appliance that enables Wi-Fi printing across subnets. ‘PrintMe Mobile integrates seamlessly into a company's network and security infrastructure to mitigate the IT costs and security risks of supporting mobile printing for all enterprise users. ‘For IT departments that want complete mobile printing coverage with the best control, EFI PrintMe Mobile is the industry's only product that provides flexibility, simplicity and security,’ said John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing for EFI. Users can send print jobs from anywhere to an internal print queue and release the print using their mobile device once they are standing at a printer. PrintMe Mobile 2.2 also delivers secure printing for organizations that have highly sensitive content or tight restrictions on information leaving the company network. With PrintMe Mobile working together with PaperCut, companies can now bring mobile printing in line with their job accounting rules in order to properly account for print activity and reduce overall consumables.’ ‘The standard AirPrint print job is anonymous and does not provide a way for companies to track who printed it. ‘The explosion of tablets in the enterprise has created a serious challenge to tracking, managing and reporting print jobs,’ said Chris Dance, CEO of PaperCut Software. IT departments can also use PrintMe Mobile to create and enforce policies to control which printers can be used and what types of printing options are available for each specific user or groups of users.
This helps companies improve the accuracy of job accounting software by tracking mobile print jobs in the system based the specific user who is printing. EFI has added advanced user authentication to enable integration with a corporate LDAP server. With PrintMe Mobile 2.2, IT departments can account for all printing originating from mobile devices, and implement policies to control access to printers based on a user ID. A full version of PrintMe Mobile 2.2 software is available for download and a free 45-day trial. PrintMe Mobile also enhances access control to printers throughout an organization, and provides local release printing to ensure sensitive documents never leave the corporate network and are only printed when requested by a user. PrintMe Mobile’s new capabilities enable job accounting applications including Equitrac and PaperCut to track printing from smartphones and tablets. EFI’s PrintMe Mobile 2.2 software now gives IT departments the ability to better control and manage printing from tablets and smartphones.
