Intelligent Printing Management

IPM is a concept in managing network and Internet shared printers

A set of printers serving tens or hundreds of users

Such a system demands a rather high degree of configuration flexibility

Must comprise mechanisms such as agreed-on-policies and priority matching

Intelligent Printing Management

The inefficiency in terms of printer usage and achieved tasks is often high

Queues of print jobs will not be dealt with if there is any congestion at a printer, or any type of operational errors

Money could be saved if organizations paid more attention to what is being printed and where it is being printed
