Prerequisites are slim.
With SimplePrint, all the files the end user needs to be able to print to a specific printer is not needed to be previously installed on their local computer. When adding a printer, you can attach a printer install package or packages to it, SimplePrint installs them all!

Less is more.
The end user doesn't need to know things like, IP address, queue names, which driver to use, etc. The only thing they need to know is where the printer is physically located. SimplePrint knows and does the rest.

Maintenance made easy.
Keeping your list of available printers to install couldn't be easier to maintain. When you want to add or delete an available printer, update a driver, change an IP address, or add a printer install package, its as easy as a quick edit in SimplePrint Admin.

Time for an update? No problem.
Want to push out a newer version of SimplePrint? Just copy it to your server and each client's computer is updated with the new version the next time they add a printer.

One less call to IT.
SimplePrint is completely self-contained. No external plists or other files on local computer to be deleted or moved and no application preferences for the end user to mess around with. And when the end user can't print, SimplePrint built in feature "Reset Printing System" fixes problems from stuck print jobs to samba errors to changing an attached username and password to a printer.
