Unlock Your School's Printing Potential With Print Management

Blog_ARK_PrintManagementPotentialSchool

If you use Google Workspace apps, create content on Chromebooks, store files on Google Drive, or manage users with Cloud Identity, you have the potential to enhance your printing experience with the help of a Print Management solution.

Famed cartoonist and “Peanuts” creator Charles Schultz once said, “There is no heavier burden than an unfulfilled potential.”

It’s back to school time — a time of great optimism, nerves, excitement, and new possibilities. While parents scurry to ready their kids for another academic year, teachers and administrators are collaborating on ways they can best help students reach their full potential.

A timely question for any school or university: Have you given much thought to unlocking your printing potential? Or does the management of your print environment seem more like a heavy burden?

  • Do you actively control print quotas, implement responsible policies and/or recover costs through payment gateways?
  • Are you spending too much time managing and utilizing items like student mobile print solutions?
  • Are your staff (and students) comfortable with how to use tools that are related to print?
  • Do you use Google in your school or university?

If you use Google Workspace apps, create content on Chromebooks, store files on Google Drive, or manage users with Cloud Identity, you have the potential to enhance your printing experience with the help of a Print Management solution. That solution could be PaperCut or uniFLOW.

PaperCut is an enterprise print management solution that fully integrates with Google Workspace, helping your classrooms hurdle the most common printing obstacles found in Google print environments – and making its strengths even better. Whether you are a small primary school or university with tens of thousands of students, uniFLOW can provide printing, copying and scanning facilities for your students and staff while managing and charging back costs correctly.

5 Ways a Print Management Solution Unlocks Your Printing Potential.

1. Easy, accountable Chromebook printing.

BYOD feature Mobility Print installs to Chromebooks in minutes, and lets users print intuitively via the Chromebook’s native interface. Plus, it’s all part of PaperCut MF, so everything’s identified, tracked, and costed with ease.

2. Automatic and reliable printer discovery.

Whether mobile, BYOD, or managed device, your printers will pop up automatically without fail. Better yet, you don’t need to worry about which drivers to deploy for different operating systems – it’s all taken care of.

New Call-to-action

3. Direct user syncing from Google Workspace.

PaperCut MF lets you sync users directly from Google Workspace, which means SysAdmins only need to manage a single user pool, and users themselves can log in easily with their Google credentials.

Likewise, uniFLOW enhances Google Workspace integration, avoiding complex setup via additional LDAP system or SSO. The integration is core for the management of any enterprise print environment, enabling users to print from any location direct to authorized company printers, simply and securely.

4. Secure release to any device.

With PaperCut and uniFLOW, all print jobs are stored in a user’s personal secure queue until they are released at the printer of their choice. Users can walk to any device on the network, irrespective of make or model, and select the job to be printed. This could be a device on a different floor, building or campus. Print Management allows students and staff to:

  • Release jobs directly using the native uniFLOW app, via internet browser, QR code or from the device panel
  • Release jobs immediately after authentication at the device
  • Release jobs at any Managed printer on campus

5. Convenient scanning to your own Google Drive and email.

With a Print Management solution, you can securely manage all your scanning in one place, and send documents straight to a Google Drive folder or your email – all using a simple tap-and-scan workflow.
