PaperCut NG/MF's iPad/iPhone Printing support works by providing two key parts: The PaperCut NG/MF iPad/iPhone App is able to be deployed / installed in a pre-configured form for your network via a simple URL. As well as enabling printing, the PaperCut NG/MF iPad/iPhone App also provides the rich functionality desktop users are used to, such as authentication, balance display and selecting / charging to Shared accounts when printing. PaperCut NG/MF's iPad/iPhone Printing support enables printing to all your PaperCut NG/MF managed printers across your enterprise (and iOS devices - iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). We highly recommend reading about Mobility Print and following the set-up instructions in the Mobility Print Help Center. Google chose PaperCut MF because it’s the best printing solution we could find for our needs.This section describes our legacy approach to iOS printing. Therefore, with PaperCut MF, we have found a solution that does just that, and one that will help pave the way for future evolution of our print environment. The idea that we could literally just save paper when printing was appealing for us from the get-go. Following its deprecation, we needed to implement a scalable and robust print architecture that met our security, flexibility and sustainability standards, which is very important to Google. Ofer Bar-Zakai, Google’s Operations and Engineering Manager, added: “Previously, Google built its own cloud print solutions, which up until last year customers were also able to use. Google is one example of a PaperCut customer that needed to take a new approach to print – one that could accommodate the intricate needs of a global organisation that prioritises security, collaboration and sustainability across multiple teams that practise hybrid working – while delivering tangible benefits in terms of ease of use, security and sustainability.” Steve Holmes, EMEA Director, PaperCut, said: “Organisations of all sizes are looking to simplify their print with solutions that are flexible enough to scale according to their ever-evolving business needs. PaperCut MF will help shrink its print bills, enabling Google to ‘give back’ to the environment and its print budget. Its ease of use also impressed, with PaperCut’s PoC up and running on the Google Cloud Platform within days, testing domains and instances smoothly and easily, Papercut said. PaperCut MF was also able to provide support for mobile devices, and the ability to badge in order to collect prints, as well as direct printing.Ī Proof of Concept (PoC) exercise within Google Cloud conducted with three vendors, put a spotlight on PaperCut’s capabilities, scalability for future expansion and high availability as well as its suitability for enterprise organisations.

Google’s Chrome team proposed a number of print vendors as an enterprise alternative for Google Cloud Print, among which PaperCut MF stood out, in part for its support for BeyondCorp, Google’s own zero trust model, and native OS printing across the four major platforms at Google – Linux, Mac, Windows and Chrome OS.

The second option was to find a product and vendor that could work with Google and support its security and infrastructure needs. The first was to take over the infrastructure for what used to be Cloud Print as a public product and make it internalised only, while maintaining that infrastructure. When looking to replace Google Cloud Print, the company assessed two options. PaperCut MF met Google’s requirement for a solution that offers flexible print management across Google’s complex print environment, which caters for approximately 200,000 employees and nearly 3,000 printers across all of its offices globally. The announcement follows the deprecation of Google Cloud Print, a service that enabled internal and external users to print from any Cloud Print-aware application, on any device in the network cloud to any printer with native support for connecting to cloud print services. PaperCut has announced that Google has standardised on PaperCut MF to underpin its internal print infrastructure.
