PrinterLogic by Vasion
PrinterLogic is a cloud-based print management platform that allows organizations to centrally manage printers, reduce print servers, and streamline printing processes. It also allows end users to choose printers, install printers on Windows and macOS operating systems, access a printer structure that is easy to navigate, and configure printing without IT intervention. Loyola recently implemented PrinterLogic to facilitate the print needs of our faculty and staff.
PrinterLogic will not affect your currently installed printers. Once the client is installed, your installed printers will be pointed to the PrinterLogic console automatically.
What benefits does a user receive from PrinterLogic?
