Enterprise Print Management Blog

In the context of office printing, when you think about Print Management, what comes to mind? For most people, it is management of the actual print output ("what comes out of which device").

Today, printers are used in most (if not almost all) office environments, and in a lot of homes. Office employees often rely on being able to print to do their jobs. However, for people managing the printers, most of their tasks are related to annoying day-to-day issues rather than setting up and managing a companywide print management policy. Some people even think that printers are sent from hell.

After almost two months I’m still considered new here at the Cirrato support. When I started, the first day of my so called summer break, I didn’t know much about printer solutions and even less about Cirrato. So I started with watching the how-it-works video to get a first glimpse. From there I went on to read a lot i.e., previous blog posts, Features, FAQ, resolved tickets and our support guidelines. After a couple of weeks the testing of the Service Pack 1 (the newest release currently in testing) for Cirrato started, this was a great way to learn even more about Cirrato, but also to get to know the people at QA and development.

Our newest website at www.cirrato.com has launched!

It seems me and my team don't get any vacation :-)

As lead developer of Cirrato's embedded technologies, I am happy to announce our latest embedded follow print implementation, this time for Sharp OSA v4.0 devices. This follows my previous release a couple of months ago, when I announced Embedded Follow Print for HP.

With a Single Server Printing infrastructure, one print controller - rather than dozens of print spool servers - manages all printing, every device and each printer driver in a global enterprise, with maximum redundancy and insignificant WAN print traffic.

Large organizations typically host multiple print spool servers, sometimes hundreds. However, physical servers are often not dedicated to print spooling but handle other services as well.

Recently many organizations moving to Windows 7 have contacted us, asking how Cirrato
can help them migrate printers and drivers from a 32-bit environment to a 64-bit one.
