Choose ezeep Blue to avoid these limitations with Microsoft’s standard solution standard solution and Universal Print
| ezeep Blue | Standard AVD Printing Solution / Universal Print | |
|---|---|---|
| Printer Selection | Supports all printer models, including label printers providing more flexibility for companies. | Only certain printer models are Universal Print ready, limiting flexibility. |
| Printing Properties for Local Printers | Full range of printing properties (e.g., duplex, color, tray selection) for a complete, user-friendly experience. | Limited options (e.g., only portrait and landscape available for local printers). |
| Single Printing Path | Provides a seamless, harmonized printing path for all devices, ensuring clarity and efficiency. | Lacks a unified printing solution for both local and network printers, leading to multiple paths and user confusion. |
| Network Printer Connection | No print servers or VPNs required, thanks to the ezeep Hub, which reduces maintenance and energy costs. | Often requires print servers to connect network printers, increasing upkeep and energy consumption. |
| Integration Requirement | Works independently of Entra ID, allowing broader printer compatibility and less administrative overhead. | Requires integration of user devices into Entra ID, limiting printer options and adding complexity. |
| Licensing Costs | Avoids hidden costs by providing all printing functions via a single license. | Often requires additional licensing fees or print job packages, as printing functions aren’t included. |
| IPPS Accessibility | Does not require printers to be IPPS-accessible, reducing security and complexity risks. | Printers must be accessible over IPPS, raising security and complexity issues. |

Lower Azure Virtual Desktop Printing Costs with the ezeep Blue Hub
Replaces print servers with the cost-efficient, maintenance-free ezeep Hub – eliminating VPNs and driver management required by Microsoft’s standard printing solution or Universal Print.
What’s more, use any printer you like while reducing energy consumption and troubleshooting support costs. Within three to four months the Hub pays for itself, making it a sustainable and cost-effective printing solution for Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
Ensure Optimal User Experience For Users
A good Digital Employee Experience (DEX) is essential.
Companies that combine Microsoft’s standard solution for local printers with Universal Print end up with two or three printing paths, as Universal Print lacks automatic printer redirection and mapping local printers and for all clients.
The result? Inefficient workflows and a frustrating DEX. But with ezeep Blue, the printing experience is the same across all devices and endpoints, with automatic printer mapping and full support for all printing properties, avoiding confusion and inefficiencies.
Enable Mobile Session Printing and Secure Release Printing in Minutes
Only ezeep Blue enables local printing from a session via smartphones and tablets, perfect for users who work on-the-go.
Imagine you want to print from home: With ezeep Blue, you can initiate the print job on the train and pick up the document at the printer via Release Printing when you arrive at the office – seamless flexibility for mobile and hybrid work environments.
Support Locally Installed Printers with All Printing Properties
ezeep Blue also supports printing to locally installed printers directly from the Azure Virtual Desktop session, without requiring additional configurations.
This means that users can seamlessly access and use their local printers as if they were physically in the office – ideal for home office or remote work.
Just take a look at the side-by-side comparison to see the missing printing features with Microsoft’s standard print solution.
What Our Customers Say: DMK Group
“The best part of the ezeep Blue printing solution is that it provides an excellent user interface. Our employees intuitively navigate the Printer Self Service to locate their printer.“
Support Every Printer, Even Specialty Printers
With support for specialty printers – such as Zebra label printers, plotters, and other specific devices – ezeep Blue is the preferred solution for companies with special printing requirements.
Certified integration of specialty printers provides a seamless printing experience in both AVD and Cloud PC environments, ideal for both office and label printing.
Zero Trust Security Architecture for More Print Security
With ezeep Blue’s Zero Trust security architecture, made possible by the ezeep Hub, print data security is maintained even in hybrid and remote work environments. Since no data is stored locally and every print job is processed through secure channels, ezeep Blue minimizes attack vectors and protects corporate data in every environment.
Detailed Reports and Analytics for Your Print Environment
With ezeep Blue, you get comprehensive reports and analytics that offer detailed insights into your company’s printing behavior and associated CO₂ emissions.
In addition to printing statistics, you can monitor copied documents, and visualize or export the collected data as a CSV file. This enables you to strategically reduce resource consumption, lower costs, and develop a more sustainable printing strategy.
