4 Steps to Simplify Printer Driver Management and Reduce IT Workload

The Hidden Complexity of Printer Management

For most employees, printing is effortless—just click “Print” and pick up the document. However, for IT teams, managing an enterprise-wide printing environment is anything but simple. With hundreds of printers, thousands of workstations, and multiple locations, IT professionals face significant challenges in ensuring smooth and secure print operations.

According to Quocirca 2024, 49% of organizations cite print driver deployment and management as their top IT challenge. Many rely on Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for printer deployment, but these come with their own set of issues, including elevated permissions, slow login times, and limited compatibility with Mac, Linux, or Citrix environments. Additionally, print servers require ongoing maintenance and security updates, adding to IT complexity and costs.

When employees move between offices, the lack of seamless printer access can disrupt productivity—forcing them to depend on IT support just to complete simple printing tasks. These inefficiencies increase IT workload and create unnecessary delays for end users.
