\/><\/span><br \/>Relying on a single server, especially in a larger office leaves a single point of failure and can also lead to a poor user experience as printing slows down if the print server is not sized appropriately.\u00a0 Most firms spread their print queues across multiple servers or have a redundant print server to mitigate these issues.<span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: var(

maintenance windows.\u00a0 Whilst a bad print driver can sometimes cause server spooler crashes and hangs which require windows spooler service restarts to rectify.\u00a0 Any outages can cause major

aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Many Queues<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Firms will deploy at least one shared queue per device, but if they have standby print servers then they may have duplicate queues.\u00a0 They may also have multiple queues pointing to the same device, because they want different users to have different default settings or access to different finishing options (for instance the ability to use the booklet finisher).\u00a0 There are probably old queues on their print servers that should have been deleted long ago and maybe a few test queues sitting out there on their network that nobody should be using.<\/span>\u00a0<br \/><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\"

aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Multiple Drivers<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If a firm has more than one printer manufacturer, then they will probably need to manage multiple drivers.\u00a0 These might be a mixture of PCL and PostScript drivers because certain users (especially in Real Estate practice groups) print large PDF plans that print more accurately, faster and in better quality when printed using PostScript.\u00a0 They may even have multiple versions of the same driver (i.e. a manufacturers global or universal driver) on their network if print queues were set up at different times as devices were replaced with newer models.<\/span><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Print Drivers can sometimes be affected by vulnerabilities and can be an attack vector on your network.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In July 2021, a report revealed that\u202fmillions of computers dating back to 2005 contain a print\u202fdriver that introduces a dangerous vulnerability, which cyberattackers could use to escalate\u202fsystem access\u202fprivileges<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u00a0 Keeping drivers up to date and managing updates on print queues can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/millions-devices-affected-vulnerability-hp-samsung-xerox-printer-drivers\/\">time consuming and is not a priority for most IT departments<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\"

printers in the office is no mean feat either.\u00a0 Automatically deploying queues to users is hard, requiring many Group Policy Objects and scripting expertise.\u00a0 Many firms rely instead on users connecting to the shared print queues themselves, a process that may require training and documentation.\u00a0 It\u2019s often not easy for users to know which queue they should be connecting to and it\u2019s often not practical to hide queues from users so they don\u2019t accidentally connect to the wrong queues and print documents to devices in secure areas like HR or the copy center. <\/span><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>This often leaves users with no other option but to seek IT assistance to get them connected to the right queues.\u00a0 And they will also need assistance in identifying an alternative device to print to if the one they normally use is off-line or has been moved or if they need to relocate to another section of the office or are visiting another location.<\/span>\u00a0<br \/><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\"

reduce the number of queues that users need is to utilize print release for your multi-function devices.\u00a0 Using print release means users print to a central queue and then release the job when they are at any compatible device.\u00a0 Users do not need to worry about connecting to individual print devices, they can use the same queue even if they need to collect the job whist working in another part of the office or in another office location.\u00a0 And the release mechanism is a great way for them to collect documents that were printed remotely via their mobile, when they were working from home or forwarded by e-mail submission.<\/span><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>Print release ensures the confidentiality of sensitive content as it prevents documents from sitting on printer output trays uncollected where unauthorized users may see it and it also reduces waste, saving the firm money.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Serverless print systems can be used to auto-deploy the pull printing queues to all users in an office easily and can ensure the queue is made the default, encouraging users to print securely and take care of the environment by only releasing what they actually need.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><ul><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\"

Universal Print as a means of providing a single print driver and a way of moving print to the cloud.\u00a0 However, Universal Print uses an intermediate language (XPS) which can apply compression that may affect print output.\u00a0 It also means that users may not have full access to all the finishing options of their print devices.\u00a0 But the one drawback of Universal Print is that all spooled documents are sent to the cloud before being downloaded and printed on the devices in the office.\u00a0 This can put considerable strain on the firm\u2019s network connectivity and cause delays in the printing process.\u00a0 There needs to be careful consideration as to whether it is necessary for all documents to be processed via the cloud when the printing device (desktop\/laptop) and the output device are on the same network.<\/span>\u00a0<br \/><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\"

aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Complexity of Multiple Vendors\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are a number of solutions which will connect to or integrate with your printing environment.\u00a0 This might include a cost recovery solution which uses a desktop application to prompt for client and matter details at the time of print and may also include software integrated at the MFD device for the capture of copy counts.\u00a0 This may also include other technology embedded on or connected to your MFDs for the digitization of paper.<\/span>\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Integrating other vendors into this environment can cause many problems especially when you need to make changes (such as relocating a printer and changing its IP address) or when something goes wrong and it\u2019s not clear which solution is causing the problem.\u00a0 If we want to simplify our print environment, minimizing the number of vendors is beneficial.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Picking a Print Mangement\/Digitization partner who can provide a wide variety of services and are specialists in providing software and services to the legal sector is essential.\u00a0 Law firms have specific needs that not all software solutions will be able to handle, for instance the ability to scan into the firms Document Management System or for attorneys to delegate certain functions to their assistants.\u00a0 With delegation, an attorney can print and have someone else collect the documents on their behalf, this is especially useful if your users are taking advantage of hybrid working and aren\u2019t always located in the same place.\u00a0 Being able to print from home and have someone start reviewing and red-lining a document right away is a huge benefit.<\/span><span
