Print Queue Deployment & Driver Management

A smart, serverless way to get the right drivers to the right users without legacy infrastructure. Eliminate the print drivers and queues IT support ticket burden.

Deliver print queues automatically to any device

Stop wasting hours on manual printer installations. Say goodbye to complex group policies, print server maintenance, and the need for end-user admin rights. Deploy print queues silently in the background with zero user intervention required.

Whether you’re setting up a secure Find-Me Printing queue or deploying Direct IP queues for immediate local printing, PaperCut Hive ensures printers are waiting as soon as a user logs in.

Read more about the benefits of moving your printers to the cloud.

Target users by location, device, or network

Ensure your users always have access to the right printer, no matter where they are. Set granular rules to deploy print queues based on a user’s identity, their specific computer, or the office network they’ve joined.

With PaperCut Hive, you can choose whether to deploy the client to managed computers via your preferred MDM tool, such as Microsoft Intune, Jamf or Iru (Kandji). Alternatively, trigger an automated email for BYOD users that guides them through a couple of steps to install the client and get printing.

Dive into our guide for setting up deployment rules.

PaperCut Hive lets you deploy unlimited print queues, enabling you to tailor the experience to every department’s unique workflow. Licensing is based on the number of printers, not print queues.
