Cloud to Ground - Traditional, Modern, and Future Print Methods

As digital solutions continue to prevail, the need for advanced printing methods is more important than ever. Traditional printing protocols, once the standard, face significant challenges in flexibility, security, and scalability. But fear not—LRS is here to guide you through the transformation of printing technologies with our upcoming webinar, Cloud to Ground – Traditional, Modern and Future Print Methods.

Join Industry Experts Dryden Steele and Mike Prince as they discuss:

  • The evolution of traditional printing methods
  • The rise of cloud-based printing solutions
  • How businesses can adapt to modern, secure, and flexible printing technologies

Webinar Highlights:

Traditional Native Application Printing Methods

For years, legacy on-premise applications have relied on classic printing protocols. While these methods served their purpose, they are limited in today’s digital world. During this session, Dryden and Mike will discuss:

  • Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): A widely used standard for sending print jobs over the Internet.
  • Line Printer Remote (LPR): A traditional protocol that allows devices to send print jobs to remote printers over the network.
  • Despite their continued use, these legacy methods often face challenges such as lack of encryption, limited feedback mechanisms, and difficulty integrating with cloud environments.

Modern Application Printing Methods

As businesses embrace the cloud, modern printing solutions must be secure, flexible, and functional. Our webinar will focus on how businesses can leverage the following:

  • Built-in HTTPS Web Calls (e.g., Epic): A web-based printing solution for secure and reliable output across cloud and hybrid applications.
  • Internet Printing Protocol Secure (IPPS) (e.g., Oracle): A secure extension of IPP that ensures encrypted communication, ideal for environments requiring high-security measures.
  • LRS Queue (LRSQ) (e.g., Cerner, SAP R/3): Printing solutions tailored to enterprise environments with control over operating systems, ensuring smooth integration with major systems.

Dryden and Mike will explain how these modern methods offer more flexibility, security, and real-time status feedback, making them the preferred solutions for cloud applications.

The Future of Cloud-Based Printing

With more enterprises shifting to cloud-only environments and third-party hosted applications, cloud printing is poised to become even more complex. In this session, our experts will explore:

  • Custom External HTTPS Printing Endpoints (e.g., REST API)
  • Advancements in IPPS
  • Affiliate Print (Delivering Output to Off-Network Locations)
  • Internet Badge Print and Scan

This webinar is an opportunity to hear from industry experts about the challenges of traditional printing and how to embrace modern, secure, and flexible cloud-based printing solutions. Whether you're in healthcare, manufacturing, or any industry dealing with sensitive data, this session is for you.
