Serverless Printing | LRS Print Management

Serverless Printing

How can your organization simplify your IT infrastructure? By using peer-to-peer printing, cloud print management, or a single server printing solution. This implementation will reduce the need for many dedicated print servers. In the process of removing redundant servers and other hardware from your environment, you can reduce complexity and network traffic while you improve print performance.

Less Complexity = Lower Cost

Serverless printing removes costly hardware from your environment, while still providing the high level of control you need to manage document delivery across the network. Simplifying your print infrastructure not only lowers up-front acquisition costs, but also the ongoing support effort to maintain the environment.

What does serverless printing really mean? It is not printing without any server but printing without any print server. LRS single server printing uses just one server as place to hold the printer queue definitions centrally. You define print devices of your organization on this server as Direct IP print queues, and whenever your user clients connect to these devices (e.g. using the LRS printer portal), the future printing process from your user clients is set up as peer to peer printing (=Direct IP printing) and goes directly to the printer without any need of a print server for spooling.

Serverless printing is not printing without a server but printing without a print server. LRS single server printing uses just one server as a place to hold the printer queue definitions centrally.

With LRS, you define print devices of your organization on this server as Direct IP print queues, and whenever your user clients connect to these devices (e.g., using the LRS printer portal), the future printing process from your user clients is set up as peer-to-peer printing (=Direct IP printing) and goes directly to the printer without any need of a print server for spooling.

LRS Single Server Printing

LRS provides single server printing with a difference. Using an intuitive web interface, Windows users can easily locate nearby devices with the required color, finishing, or other capabilities then send the documents to any defined printer.  

Virtual desktop and virtual application users can also print without the need to manage drivers or connect to a dedicated print server. Driver updates on user devices are done automatically. The software can record key print usage statistics and makes them available for cost analysis and security auditing purposes. 

VPSX/DirectPrint serverless printing software from LRS helps your users and IT staff: 

  • Deliver print from any physical or virtual desktop instance to any device 
  • Easily manage print drivers, queues, and devices without a dedicated print server 
  • Locate, define, and manage printers using an intuitive web interface 
  • Reduce WAN traffic through peer-to-peer (Direct IP) print connectivity 
  • Utilize cloud storage for efficient document management 

Not ready to go serverless? We offer more advantages and flexibility with LRS Output solutions. Choose a Hybrid Print Architecture which supports Direct IP printing and reliable spool-based printing from a single integrated solution. 

Serverless Pull Printing

LRS’s serverless pull printing makes printing easier and more efficient by removing the need for traditional print servers. Instead of managing lots of servers, everything is controlled from one central system. Users send their print jobs directly to printers using Direct IP printing, which reduces IT workload, cuts costs, and works well in modern, flexible workplaces.

With pull printing, documents are only printed when the user goes to the printer and confirms their identity. This keeps information secure, reduces paper waste, and lets people print from any supported device. LRS’s solution is easy to use, works with mobile and virtual setups, and helps businesses simplify printing while keeping everything safe and under control.
