The Mopria
Alliance, a global non-profit membership organization providing
universal standards and solutions for print and scan, today announced that its
Mopria Print Service app for Android is now available for easy integration into
Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions, and is available on the MobileIron
MarketPlace. Now IT departments using MobileIron solutions can easily
offer and account for mobile printing across their enterprise, providing an
essential enterprise function for an increasingly mobile workforce.
MobileIron's listing means users of their UEM solution can download Mopria
Print Service with confidence and that it will work within their secure
enterprise ecosystem.
"With the listing of Mopria Print Service on MobileIron's MarketPlace, IT
admins can be sure that their enterprise users are printing documents
seamlessly and securely across multiple printer brands," said Greg Kuziej,
Chairman of the Board at the Mopria Alliance. "Mobile printing is one of the
benefits of mobility that employees have come to expect in the digital
workplace, and this offers administrators a way to cater to those preferences
while ensuring policy compliance."
To ensure simple configuration and a secure mobile app, Mopria Alliance has
adopted the AppConfig security framework in the Mopria Print Service for easy
integration into any UEM solution. These under-the-hood changes simplify the
process of configuring the Mopria Print Service so that IT admins can easily
add a bevy of desirable enterprise features, including:
- Print settings such as color or black, number of
copies, double-sided printing, paper size, page range, media type,
orientation, punching, folding and stapling, and the ability to enforce
print policies tied to those settings.
- Security features like user authentication and PIN
printing, which requires users to enter a PIN before a document prints to
ensure that the document is physically retrieved instead of sitting unattended
at the printer.
- Accounting features that ease the reporting and
tracking of use of printer resources.
Users can download Mopria Print Service from the
Google
Play store, or directly from the
Mopria website.
