Reduce reliance on print servers
Move Beyond Print Servers with Confidence
UBT helps organizations modernize print infrastructure with cloud print migration strategies that reduce dependence on traditional print servers and support a more flexible, manageable environment.
Many organizations are rethinking the role of on-premise print servers as they modernize systems, support hybrid work, and reduce infrastructure overhead. But moving to the cloud is not just a technical shift. It also affects security, user access, device management, and day-to-day support.
That is where the right plan matters.
Why Organizations Consider Cloud Print Migration
Support hybrid and remote work models
Simplify printer deployment and provisioning
Improve scalability across locations
Create a more modern print infrastructure
Common Challenges
Legacy environments with inconsistent device setup
User disruption during migration
Security concerns
Compatibility and provisioning issues
Limited internal time to plan and manage the transition
How UBT Helps
UBT helps you evaluate your current environment, identify the right cloud print tools, and create a migration path that supports your users and your operational goals. We focus on practical execution, not just technical theory, so your team can make progress without unnecessary disruption.
What a Better Cloud Print Environment Can Deliver
Less Infrastructure Burden
Reduce dependence on traditional print servers and manual provisioning.
Greater Flexibility
Support users across locations and work models more easily.
Easier Management
Improve how devices are deployed, updated, and supported.
Stronger Alignment with Modern IT Goals
Support broader modernization efforts with a print environment that is easier to scale and maintain.
Microsoft Initiatives
Microsoft’s evolving security and print standards are reshaping the way organizations manage their fleets. We stay ahead of these changes so our clients don’t get caught off guard — ensuring your environment remains compliant, supported, and secure as Microsoft rolls out new requirements.
Windows Protected Print (WPP)
We help organizations understand and adopt Microsoft’s new protected print mode, which requires Mopria-certified devices and modernized drivers — eliminating the attack surface of legacy print spooler vulnerabilities.
Removal of Basic Authentication (SMTP AUTH)
Microsoft is deprecating Basic Auth for SMTP, which directly impacts devices that scan-to-email using legacy authentication. We audit your fleet for affected devices and implement modern authentication (OAuth 2.0) or alternative scan workflows to keep email delivery uninterrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Print Modernization & Cloud Solution FAQs
What is cloud print migration?
Cloud print migration moves printing away from traditional print servers and into a more modern cloud-based or serverless environment.
Why are businesses moving away from print servers?
Print servers can be time-consuming to manage, harder to support in hybrid workplaces, and more limiting than modern cloud print options.
Do I need cloud print migration if my current setup still works?
Maybe not right away. But if your print servers create constant IT work, remote access issues, or complicated deployment problems, it may be time to migrate.
What are the biggest benefits of cloud print migration?
The biggest benefits are reduced infrastructure complexity, easier deployment, better support for distributed teams, and less dependence on on-premise servers.
Is cloud printing secure?
It can be very secure when paired with strong authentication, user controls, and a well-planned deployment.
Will cloud print migration help a hybrid workforce?
Yes. It can make printer access easier for users moving between offices or working in more flexible environments.
Can cloud print migration work with the printers I already have?
Often, yes. Compatibility depends on your devices, software platform, and the overall environment you are migrating from.
Does cloud print migration get rid of drivers completely?
Not always, but it often reduces driver complexity and makes printer deployment much easier to manage.
What makes cloud print migration fail?
It usually fails when businesses skip planning. User permissions, printer mapping, workflows, and device compatibility all need to be considered upfront.
How do I know if my office is ready for cloud print migration?
If your IT team is tired of managing print servers, printer setup is inconsistent, or hybrid work is exposing gaps, you are probably ready for a closer look.
