I’m looking for suggestions with respect to print servers in a completely cloud based office system.
For an office of around 40 staff, is an office based print server actually required in this day and age?
I’m looking at various options including no print server, a cloud based print server (such as Printix) or even an Azure virtual machine hosting a print server. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on the above?
I do have an old server in our office that is switched off, but could easily be reinstated if necessary for the sole purpose of acting as an office print server if necessary. Keeping in mind that the machine does not act as a domain controller.
The finance team would also like to have an understanding of printer cost apportioning to the various departments, but this is not an essential requirement.
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks!
