Wanting to inquire about this subject from other view points and experienced MSPs or IT admins. Would like to hear how you implement your scan and print configurations in an office environment. Ideally, I would like to know of the many different ways that this solution could be implemented. With the for-site of it being elegant, shared usability if possible, and secure(network configuration and privilege checks ). This could look like possibly adding the printer or scanner to single client hosts or working through some server queue.
Also I am not looking for a right and wrong answer per say. Just solutions you may have implemented that might fit the bill. Thanks in advance for any responses.
Most MSPs prefer using a central print server or managed queue for easier control, driver management, and security. Smaller setups often connect printers or scanners directly via IP or USB. For best results, keep printers on a separate VLAN, use authentication for scans, and manage permissions through group policies.
