Self Service Printing Portal
Installing printers can potentially be a difficult process. One that often requires helpdesk interference. The process of finding and installing printers can be improved with a ‘end user self service portal’ also referred to as ‘self installation portal’ or ‘printer portal’. These tools enable employees to quickly find and install the printer(s) of their choice. Whether this is a one time process or a recurring one, it greatly reduces the time and resources required to complete the installation.
Print Management solutions like LRS have this portal as part of the offering. A standard feature which is part of a set that facilitates access to printers. The LRS Self Service Printer Installation Portal is a part of the corporate intranet or extranet and allows end-users to find the nearby devices and corresponding capabilities on a floor map. A single click installs the printer and makes it instantly available. On the administrator end the IT staff can use the intuitive wizard to upload new or different floor maps and drop printer icons where the printers are located. This single act avoids the need for a traditional set up and repeat process for each server.
