What it is

Pharos Uniprint is an on-premises print management platform for colleges and universities. It is designed for existing infrastructure and multi-vendor printer fleets, helping institutions control printing costs and provide secure printing for students and faculty. Jobs require authentication before release, and the platform supports end-to-end encryption and Zero Trust security principles. Administrators can set quotas and policy controls, manage departmental chargebacks, connect billing integrations and payment gateways, and report on usage. Users can print from email or web-enabled devices, including off-campus and mobile devices, then manage jobs and balances through Pharos Print Center. Uniprint supports ChromeOS printing, browser-based administration, and school-theme customization for Print Center. Its SSO support includes CAS and Shibboleth in Print Center, but not in the Android or iOS apps or Station Print Center Mode. Pharos Insights adds on-demand cloud-based analytics about device fleets and printing trends. Pricing is available on request. The Pharos Print app has minimum version requirements for Uniprint, MobilePrint, and Print Center, and requires a certificate-authority-signed security certificate.
