What if end-users
in your organization could print to one virtual universal printer
queue and release their print jobs on any hp
printer or MFP in the company, when and where they want, just by
authenticating?
This would definitely create very
significant productivity gains and reduce cost by getting rid of
unclaimed documents on the printers' output tray. This is now
possible with the SecureJet Print PS software on server with
SecureJet Print SMP modules installed on hp LaserJet printers and
MFPs.
Print
Jobs are retained on print servers until their release
SecureJet Print PS is a distributed
server-based application storing Unix, Windows, SAP R/3 and ERPs
print jobs on
servers hard drives. Nothing else happen until the owner
authenticates on any
SecureJet
Print-SMP enabled printer or MFP, to
reclaim his print jobs. The reclaimed print jobs are then directly
sent to the printer where the user stands.
SecureJet
Print-SMP is the
client module for SecureJet Print-PS, installed on MFPs and
printers.
Productivity &
security gains
Documents won't
be produced until their owner is facing a printer, waiting for them.
This reduces printing waste, increases documents confidentiality and
lets users reclaim documents when and where they need them.
Your printer is
not available? When SecureJet Print-SMP is combined with the
SecureJet Print-PS server software,
jobs are stored on remote print servers and released from any
printer equipped with Print-SMP. One printer/MFP can query directly
up to 5 SecureJet Print-PS print server, and every SecureJet
Print-PS print server is a gateway to all other servers, providing a
fully scalable distributed architecture.
You can then walk
to any SecureJet-enabled printer or MFP on your Intranet to retrieve
your jobs and jobs sent for you by colleagues.
It is also possible to secure document for another person or
department. An admin can then print a contract that her boss will be
able to release just by walking to a printer or MFP. This is also a
great features for workers without PC or palmtop, such as hospital
nurses (to get prescriptions or lab results), oil rig or factory
workers.
Scalable distributed architecture, failover capability
Multiple SecureJet Print-PS servers can be running on the same
Intranet to serve tens of thousands of users. SecureJet Print-SMP
can access those servers in two ways:
-
Up
to 5 Print-PS servers IP address can be defined on each SecureJet
Print-SMP configuration. SecureJet Print-SMP will contact those
servers looking for your jobs. This is a solution very simple to
setup. On the other hand it requires to communicate with each of
those servers, therefore we don't recommend it for WAN usage (the
next method should then be preferred).
-
Up
to 10,000 Print-PS servers can be setup on the Intranet, and they
share a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE database. On a
MFP or printer, SecureJet Print-SMP is configured to access one
Print-PS server. That PS Server will then manage automatically the
retrieval of all jobs information from all Print-PS server on the
Intranet, as well as deletion and release process.
Cluster, Citrix Metaframe and Windows Terminal Server compatible
SecureJet Print-PS runs under Windows 2000 and 2003 Cluster servers,
for a maximum safety. Furthermore it is also compatible with Citrix
Metaframe and Windows Terminal server, where they can complement the
virtual desk with perfect virtual printer queue.
Expiration date for unclaimed job, and
 Quotas
for print jobs
Limits can be set
for users: max size for stored print jobs and max storage time. This
helps making sure the SecureJet Print-PS server hard drive won't
choke due to too many unclaimed print jobs. such deletions are
notified to job owners through the Win-Popup service.
Print jobs have an
expiration date after which they are deleted if not printed, defined
in hours and days or as a local time and date.
To fully protect encrypted documents, such deletion happens before any decryption.
Simpler: one print queue to reach all printers and MFPs
By using
SecureJet Print-PS, reduce the number
of print queues you manage: only one printer queue is necessary on
every PC, to reach any network printer equipped with SecureJet
Print-SMP.
This is
particularly useful for HotDesk printing: users have a new desk
every time they comes to the office. It is then difficult for them to
know how to print to a specific device, or confusing to define every
time a new printer queue.
With SecureJet, it could not be easier: users always print to the
same unique logical printer, and reach the closest SecureJet-enabled
printer or MFP to authenticate and reclaim their documents.
Data encryption included
 All printer
languages, whether it is Postscript or PCL5, can be viewed on a PC
screen using the right utilities. It means that anybody can see what
you are printing if print jobs data goes unprotected on the network.
To protect your confidential data en-route to the printer/MFP,
Print-PS comes with sophisticated print job data encryption
capabilities. Every print job has a unique encryption key. This
makes sure the print jobs cannot be rerouted to another device or
archived en-route to the printer or MFP.
Print job
encryption is provided standard in SecureJet Print-PS, at no extra
cost.
Encryption plug-ins and filters are available for most Windows OS,
Linux, HP-UX and SUN-Solaris systems.
Multiple logins are supported for users
Users have multiple logins, one for Windows, one for Unix, another
one for SAP R/3 or SAP ECC?
SecureJet Print-PS can automatically assign all the user jobs to a
primary login linked to the authentication (badge, PIN code,
smartcard) used on printers and MFPs. This "Alias" system uses LDAP
and Active Directory databases plus rules to find equivalences
between the various alternate logins and the primary login.
Live LDAP and Active Directory ID validation for SecureJet Auth
modules
 Print
PS also performs live ID validation
(badge number,
PIN code, smartcard X509 ID) for SecureJet Auth modules, against
LDAP and
Active Directory servers.
The SecureJet Auth module provides the
badge number, PIN code or X509 Smartcard certificate information to
SecureJet Print-PS, who validates it against Active Directory or
LDAP database servers. Those servers return the user information:
user login, full name, email address and department name.
It is then possible to dynamically
activate or deactivate an access to MFPs and printers by creating or
disabling the corresponding Active Directory or LDAP user record.
Intuitive jobs release process from SecureJet Print-SMP
Print jobs stored on SecureJet
Print-PS servers are released by the SecureJet
Print-SMP module loaded on printers and MFPs.
On MFPs, users
press the "My print jobs" front panel button. They are then requested
to authenticate, using one of the built-in authentication or a
SecureJet Authentication module. Upon valid authentication the
users jobs list shows up:
It is also possible for the
administrator to simplify even further the jobs release process,
with two levels:
- All jobs are released instantly
after a valid authentication, when using the front panel
button. The user then cannot delete or select print jobs, this is
an all-or-nothing
function. Authentication can also be used for other MFP functions.
- All jobs are release instantly
when the user shows his badge to SecureJet Auth-PX,
Auth-SW and Auth-SC authentication agents. The user then
cannot delete or select print jobs, this is an all-or-nothing
function.
This works by switching SecureJet in the "instant release" mode to
work like on printers
(read below). When that mode is activated, the SecureJet
Authentication cannot work with any other MFP function, as it is
dedicated to permanent badge scanning for secure jobs release.
On single function
printers, just walk to the printer and authenticate on the
SecureJet Auth reader or keypad (this depends on the Auth module
installed on the device). All
the user print jobs are instantly released, there is no need
to go through the printer front panel menu options.
User authentication
Users may
authenticate on MFPs for SecureJet Print-PS using any built-in authentication such as LDAP,
Kerberos or Active Directory.
On printers and MFPs, SecureJet Auth modules authenticate using PIN
codes, proximity badges, magnetic swipe cards, smartcard or
biometrics.
Driver plug-in on client, server or application
A driver plug-in
is available for client and servers, to secure SMP print jobs. They
perform the link to user, expiration date management and the
encryption. Plug-ins and filters are available for most Windows OS,
Linux, HP-UX and SUN-Solaris systems.
If you write your
own application, on a mainframe, Unix, Linux or other system, you
can secure the delivery of documents by simply adding some commands
in the print job header. All that is fully documented in the
SecureJet Print-SMP manual.

Please read the SecureJet
white paper for all information on
pre-requirements
and special features
Hundreds of users
can be served by one SecureJet Print-PS server. The main
limitation is the disk storage size on the server, as it is not
uncommon to see some heavy PowerPoint or Acrobat color print jobs
reaching the size of one Gigabyte.
When more users
need to be served with SecureJet Print-PS, more servers can be
setup and can be linked with the other Print-PS server to cluster
the list of print jobs for a user.
Simple to install
Just insert the
SecureJet Print SMP card inside the MFP or printer, or activate the
license in SecureJet Auth.
