Civil servants printing on each other's devices

Civil servants printing on each other's devices

Have you seen another cloud print solution that can do this?

39 of our 57 member organisations. Separate tenants, separate users, separate devices, and every day their staff print on each other's printers. In a zero trust environment:

  • No VPN. No print servers. No network between buildings.
  • No holes punched in firewalls. No inbound connections, ever.
  • No line of sight between the laptop and the printer.
  • No local IT needed to let a visitor print.
  • Outbound HTTPS only, with every user, device and printer authenticated independently.

And it's in daily use

  • 99 routes between organisations in August 2026, up from 27 in January 2025.
  • 186,000 pages a month printed by staff away from their home organisation.

A civil servant visiting another department badges in, taps release and collects their documents. No IT tickets, no guest accounts, nothing configured.
