All too often we have new healthcare clients sign up for our Managed Print Services who have been taken advantage of through an existing copier lease.

A pull print solution reduces unclaimed print jobs and increases efficiency. Users can print to a secure network, authenticate with ease, and retrieve jobs when necessary, even on the go.

The HP LaserJet Printers and MFPs have a very nice free feature that allows you to send a print job to a LaserJet Printer or MFP and the print job will be stored on the machine until it is released using a PIN number. This feature is called Job Storage.  It's completely free and built into just about every HP LaserJet Printer and MFP print driver.
