Printix
Printix is cloud-based print management software for businesses managing print environments, including hybrid cloud setups. Administrators use central web-based management to configure printers, print queues, and drivers. Users can print from Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, and Android devices, then release jobs at a printer through a browser or smartphone, or by card or ID code on many printer models. Printix says it supports any printer without requiring new certified printers or print connectors. Its Capture feature can route scans from supported HP, Konica Minolta, and Ricoh multifunction printers to email, OneDrive, and SharePoint Online. Listed integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, Endpoint Manager, Azure Blob Storage, Power BI, Google Workspace, Google Groups, and Google Cloud Storage. Printix says documents are encrypted with AES using a 256-bit key and stored locally; they do not leave the customer network unless cloud printing is enabled. Starter costs $2.09 per user per month for 15 to 50 users, with the first month free. The 30-day trial provides full feature access without a credit card.
