PrinterLogic: serverless print infrastructure explained
Direct-IP, serverless print management that replaces traditional Windows print servers
Last updated September 4, 2026
What PrinterLogic does
PrinterLogic (now sold under the Vasion Print brand) replaces the traditional Windows print server model with direct IP printing managed from the cloud.
- Eliminates Windows print servers - jobs route directly from endpoint to printer instead of through server infrastructure
- Centralized, web-based admin console for managing queues and drivers across every site from one place
- Self-service driver installation portal for end users
- Built on AWS, with high availability that doesn't depend on server clustering
Advanced Security add-on
Core print-server elimination is the base platform. Secure printing and Zero Trust features are licensed separately as an add-on:
- Secure Release Printing - jobs hold in queue until the user authenticates at the device via badge, PIN, QR code, or mobile app
- Off-Network and Off-Network Cloud Printing - lets remote or traveling users print to in-office printers without a VPN
- Integrations with identity providers like Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID, and Google Identity
- Delegated release and offline secure release for when a workstation is unavailable
Where it tends to fit best
- Multi-site organizations tired of patching and maintaining a print server at every branch
- IT teams consolidating infrastructure as part of a broader server-elimination or cloud migration effort
- Organizations wanting Zero Trust-style secure release without deploying separate release-station hardware
- Environments already standardized on Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID, or Google Identity for authentication
Where this fits
Core platform (per print queue)
Base licensing - one license per managed print queue, covering direct-IP printing and centralized management.
- Simple, predictable per-queue pricing model
- Centralized management console spanning every site
- No Windows print server to patch, cluster, or maintain
- Licensing scales with queue count, not device or user count, so fleets with many low-volume queues should plan accordingly
Advanced Security add-on
Optional add-on layering in secure release, off-network printing, and expanded IdP support.
- Badge, PIN, QR code, or mobile-app secure release
- Supports Zero Trust initiatives with strong IdP integration
- Off-network printing without VPN overhead
- Priced per queue on top of core licensing, so it's an incremental cost, not included by default
FAQ
Does PrinterLogic really eliminate the need for a print server?
Yes - that's its core design. Print jobs route directly from the endpoint to the printer using direct IP printing, rather than passing through a centralized Windows print server.
Is secure/pull printing included by default?
No. Secure Release Printing and related Zero Trust features are part of the Advanced Security add-on, licensed separately per print queue.
Does it work well across multiple office locations?
Yes - centralized, cloud-based management across every site is one of the platform's core selling points, particularly for organizations replacing per-site print servers.
