Home Office Printing Is a Challenge – For Users and IT
More employees than ever are working in home offices as part of hybrid work models, for example. However, if they want to print corporate resources to their home printers or from home to the office, they quickly hit a wall.
There are various reasons why home office printing fails:
- An employee uses a VPN connection to access company applications and documents. However, security best practice prevents local devices, such as printers, from being used. The VPN blocks all local network connections and USB ports, preventing employees from printing to their local printer.
- Employees use Azure Virtual Desktop from a tablet or Chromebook and want to print corporate resources at home. Here, printing to local printers is only possible with a lot of time by the IT department.
- Employees work at home with a company-managed computer and are not allowed to install printer drivers themselves. Therefore, the IT team has to set up printing for them which is very time-consuming for the IT department. And when employees want to print from different company devices in the home office, printer drivers need to be installed on all of them.
- In some teams, employees must print to other colleagues’ home office printers, something that is also not easy to set up.
Home Office Printing Made Easy Thanks to the ezeep Hub
Thanks to the ezeep Hub, ezeep’s unique cloud-based driver pool and cloud management for ezeep Hubs, IT admins can relax and easily support these use cases.
An ezeep Hub is sent to the home of an employee who needs to print from their home office. Once an employee turns on the ezeep Hub and connects it to the home network via an Ethernet cable, the device automatically reports back all printers found on the network.
In the ezeep Blue Admin Portal, the admin logs in and remotely manages the ezeep Hub by entering the MAC address, printed on the back of the Hub, and selects the driver from ezeep’s cloud-hosted driver pool. If necessary, the IT team can also change further settings of the home office hubs at any time.
Users can now easily print corporate resources from the home office, whether from their laptops or mobile devices.
