In their own words
PrinterLogic
PrinterLogic manages organizational printing through centrally managed direct IP printing, eliminating print servers. Administrators use one Admin Console to manage printer objects, drivers, profiles and settings, then push deployments without scripting or Group Policy Objects. Its Self-service Portal lets users install printers and drivers without IT support. Secure Release Printing holds jobs until users authenticate and release them at the printer. Print jobs stay local, with confidential data encrypted until it is behind the organization’s firewall. The mobile app supports direct IP printing, scanning, print release and off-network printing on iOS and Android. The agent supports current and previous releases of Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux distributions including Red Hat and Ubuntu. The product page lists more than 200 integrations across identity, print, storage, back-office, operating-system and virtual-desktop systems. Pricing is on request, and a 30-day trial is available. Listed usage-based plans cost $109.60 a month for 50-99 print queues and $121.80 a month for 25-49 queues.
PrintNode
PrintNode is a hosted printing service that lets applications send print jobs to printers remotely through a JSON API and client software. It supports PDF and RAW printing, including printer-native formats such as ZPL and EPL. The client finds printers configured on the computer through its operating system and requires appropriate drivers; it does not search the local network for printers. USB HID and serial weighing scales are supported, with scale data available through the API or WebSockets. Developers can use the RESTful API, webhooks, WebSockets, API account management, and delegated authentication. Integrator Account holders can brand the client with their own name and logo. PrintNode says communications use TLS, documents are not read, and Base64-submitted documents are deleted after printing. Private deployment is available through a Standalone Server, and documents can be self-hosted within the customer’s network. Lite is free for 50 prints per month on one computer; Essential is $9 a month for 5,000 prints per month on three computers. A free trial is listed.
