9. Challenge: Branch-Office Printing
Need server-less printing because:
–
–
Don’t want traffic on WAN
–
9
Don’t want server at every site
Want to configure all these from a central location
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.

10. Scenario: Branch-Office Printing
Administrator can provide:
–
–
Users can install printers from corporate website via browser
–
10
Centralized administration of printers, drivers and users
Data is routed on local network and not across WAN
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.

11. Challenge: Helpdesk Involvement
Need print environment where users can simply
help themselves:
–
–
Don’t want helpdesk to update or change drivers
–
11
Don’t want helpdesk to find/install printers for users
Don’t want helpdesk involved unless printer is broken
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.

12. Example: Self-Service Printing
Administrator configures print environment
No training of users necessary: They use web browser or app
Users install printers and drivers with single click of the mouse
