Last updated September 4, 2026

What Printix does

Printix (from Tungsten Automation) is built as a cloud-first replacement for traditional print server infrastructure.

Serverless, cloud-hosted print management - no on-prem print server to scale, patch, or maintain
Global cloud driver store that automatically maps native drivers, or falls back to a universal driver, for every printer
Central web-based console to manage printers, queues, and drivers across multiple sites and networks
Secure print release with card, ID code, or mobile authentication
Support for Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix, and RDS environments

Microsoft integration

Single sign-on and policy-based management via Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) groups
Deployable through Microsoft Endpoint Manager
Direct integration with Universal Print by Microsoft on existing printers, without a separate connector
Listed as a preferred solution on Azure Marketplace

Where it tends to fit best

Organizations already standardized on Microsoft 365 / Entra ID for identity and device management
Multi-site or hybrid/remote workforces printing from outside a traditional office network
IT teams that want printing removed from their server-patching and capacity-planning workload entirely
Azure Virtual Desktop and other VDI deployments needing reliable, low-touch print redirection

Common use cases

Where this fits

Cloud management console

Central, browser-based administration with no on-prem servers involved.

Strengths

Nothing on-prem to patch, scale, or maintain
Deep Entra ID (Azure AD) group-based policy support
Delegated Site Manager roles for local IT at each location

Worth knowing

Depends on reliable internet connectivity at every printing location

Global driver store

Automated driver management with a universal-driver fallback.

Strengths

Client silently self-updates - little ongoing driver maintenance
Reduces helpdesk tickets tied to driver mismatches across a mixed fleet

Worth knowing

A universal driver may not expose every device-specific print feature

Common questions

FAQ

Does Printix require any on-premise print server?

No - it's built to run entirely from the cloud. Print processing happens locally on the user's computer, and management is centralized in Printix's cloud console.

How does it handle print drivers?

Printix maintains a global cloud driver store. It automatically applies the correct native driver where one exists, or falls back to a universal driver otherwise, and keeps the client updated automatically.

Does it integrate with Microsoft 365 / Entra ID?

Yes - single sign-on, group-based policy, Endpoint Manager deployment, and Universal Print integration are all built in, and Printix is listed as a preferred solution on Azure Marketplace.
