In their own words
ezeep
ezeep is a cloud printing platform for teams printing across locations and devices. Its design removes the need for print servers and printer drivers, with supported platforms including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and web browsers. Secure Pull Printing keeps a job at the printer until the user authenticates. Unreleased jobs are discarded after 72 hours, and released jobs are deleted when printing finishes. Print data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 minimum and at rest with AES-256 through Azure Storage Service Encryption. Integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect, Jamf, Zebra, and Lexmark. The REST API can submit print jobs, manage printers and users, and automate document output; an MCP server is also available. The free Personal plan covers up to 10 users and unlimited user print jobs, with 50 API-triggered pages per organization each month. Paid plans start at €2.75/user/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is listed.
Microsoft Universal Print
Microsoft Universal Print is a cloud printing service for organizations committed to the Microsoft 365 cloud. It replaces print servers with cloud-managed printer access, allowing users to print over the internet. Printing is built into supported Windows versions, without extra endpoint software or printer drivers. On macOS, printing from native applications requires the Universal Print app; in OneDrive and Excel on the web, users can choose a printer without setup or installation.
Administrators can manage printers in Azure Portal, automate tasks with PowerShell, and deploy printers with Intune. The service supports IPP and Microsoft Graph API capabilities. Its security features include Microsoft Entra ID users and groups, HTTPS, X.509-backed printer device objects, and modern authentication for Zero Trust deployments. QR code secure release can hold jobs until users retrieve them. Printers without native protocol support need a connector on a Windows computer. Each document counts as one job, regardless of pages or copies, and eligible licenses contribute to a shared monthly tenant pool. Listed capacity add-ons start at $25 a month for 500 jobs; no free plan is offered.
