ezeep Review: Cloud Printing That Retires the Print Server

Print infrastructure is one of the last corners of IT still running on decades-old assumptions: a server in a closet, drivers installed one desk at a time, and a VPN tunnel just so a remote employee can print a single document. ezeep, built by ThinPrint, replaces that setup with a cloud-based printing platform that manages print and scan jobs centrally, without a dedicated print server.

The platform recently extended its reach to HP’s multifunction printer line through a native app for HP Workpath, giving IT teams one more major hardware brand they can bring into a single cloud-managed print environment.

What is ezeep?

ezeep is a cloud-based print and scan infrastructure platform that lets organizations manage printing across offices, remote locations and shared workspaces from one central dashboard, instead of maintaining separate print servers and drivers at every site. It is positioned for IT teams running distributed, hybrid or remote workforces who need printing to simply work everywhere, without a new infrastructure project every time a team opens a new location.

The underlying idea is that printing should behave like any other modern cloud service: centrally managed, accessible from anywhere, and free of the hardware dependencies that used to tie a print job to a specific office network. Instead of installing drivers on every laptop and routing jobs through an on-site server, devices and users connect to ezeep’s cloud layer, which handles authentication, queuing and delivery regardless of where a person happens to be working that day.

The HP Workpath integration lets HP multifunction printers join the ezeep platform directly through an app installed on the device itself, pulling the latest print jobs on demand and enabling secure scan-to-cloud, without routing everything back through a traditional print server first. For IT teams already standardized on HP hardware, that removes one of the last reasons to keep a legacy print server running at all.

Key features

Pull printing

Print jobs are held securely in the cloud until a user authenticates at any connected printer, so documents are not sitting in an output tray before anyone arrives to collect them.

Scan-to-cloud

Scanned documents move directly into cloud storage or a connected workflow, cutting out the extra step of scanning to a local folder and uploading separately.

Copy tracking and cost control

Usage is tracked by user and device, giving IT and finance teams visibility into print and copy costs across locations rather than reconciling them site by site.

NFC authentication

Tapping a badge at the printer’s control panel authenticates the user and releases held jobs, adding a layer of security without slowing anyone down.

Broad integration library

ezeep connects with Microsoft 365, Zapier, JAMF, Lexmark and more than 20 other platforms, plus an API for teams that want to build printing directly into their own applications.

Who it’s for

ezeep is built for IT leaders managing printer fleets across multiple locations, including coworking spaces, warehouses, schools and any organization with a remote or hybrid workforce that still needs reliable, secure printing. The HP Workpath integration specifically benefits organizations already standardized on HP multifunction devices, since it removes the need for a separate print server to bring those machines onto the platform. Business and Enterprise plans are available, with a free trial for teams that want to test the setup against their own printer fleet first.

What makes it worth considering

ezeep’s pitch is straightforward: printing should not require its own infrastructure project. By eliminating print servers and the VPN connections often used to reach them, the platform claims to cut IT overhead meaningfully, citing roughly $3,000 saved per eliminated print server and a 60% drop in related help desk tickets among a user base of more than 100,000. Setup is also designed to be fast, with deployments the company describes as going live in minutes rather than the days a traditional print server rollout can take.

The zero-trust security model and NFC-based pull printing are particularly useful for organizations handling sensitive documents, since nothing sits unclaimed in an output tray waiting to be collected. The sustainability angle is a nice bonus too, with the platform designed to reduce paper waste alongside the infrastructure savings, and the growing integration library means printing can be wired into existing device management and automation workflows rather than living as an isolated system.

The HP Workpath launch is also a useful signal about where the platform is headed: rather than asking customers to replace hardware to adopt cloud printing, ezeep is meeting IT teams where their fleets already are. That approach lowers the switching cost considerably, since an organization can bring its existing HP devices onto the platform without a parallel hardware refresh, then expand to other supported brands and locations at its own pace.

Verdict

For IT teams tired of babysitting print servers across multiple sites, ezeep offers a genuinely simpler alternative, and the new HP Workpath integration makes it easier still for organizations already running HP hardware to switch over. Between the cost savings, the security model and the breadth of integrations, it is a sound pick for any distributed organization ready to retire its print infrastructure headaches for good.
