Is it possible to print from anywhere?

As more of us switch to a hybrid work model, the need – and expectation – to be able to print from anywhere has grown in parallel. Fortunately, technology has kept pace with this demand, so, if you are asking – or are being asked – the question, ‘can I print from anywhere?’, the answer is Yes!

How to print from anywhere

With a device connected to the internet, and access to a cloud-connected printer, it is possible to print from practically anywhere – you don’t need to be on the same network.

Cloud printing has fast become the go-to option for businesses and organisations looking for ways to support employees and users. This is largely because it offers complete location flexibility, but also because it is secure. Cloud printing solutions, such as that offered by Toshiba, provide end-to-end encryption of user, billing and print data, making it easy to control and monitor print activity.

In essence, remote printing – from anywhere – via the cloud is a three-stage process:

  • User enables printing by signing in from e.g. Google Workspace™ or Microsoft 365®
  • User submits their print job
  • User releases the print job by logging into the printer, using an access card or PIN, when they are on site and standing physically at the printer

Ways to print from anywhere

Besides cloud printing, there are other ways to facilitate printing for users who may not have a fixed office location:

• Mobile printing – this is for organisations where visiting users connect to a printer via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Near Field Communication (NFC) from a mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone

• Mobile printing apps – some printer manufacturers offer mobile printing apps which facilitate remote printing from a user device to a specific printer

• Email printing – a user sends a print job as an email attachment to a specified printer email address; once received, the document is printed automatically
