Upgrades include secure printing support for Windows Protected Print and Windows on Arm devices, plus enhanced controls for higher-ed and IT admins.
“With today’s release, we’re enabling enterprises to meet modern requirements while giving administrators more control than ever before,” said Josh Orum, CEO of Pharos. “Whether it’s supporting Windows Protected Print, new device architectures, or giving higher-ed institutions new ways to control costs, Pharos Cloud continues to lead the way in making print secure, seamless, and simple.”
Key highlights of the Pharos Cloud release:
Support for Windows Protected Print and Windows on Arm Devices:
As organizations adopt Microsoft’s driverless Windows Protected Print mode to secure their print environment and Windows 11 on Arm devices for enhanced performance and AI capabilities, Pharos Cloud now supports Secure Release printing and tracking for these evolving environments.
Secure Release and scan improvements:
• Searchable scan destinations: Users can now search for folders in OneDrive, SharePoint, or network locations, speeding up workflows.
• IPv6 support: Enterprises adopting IPv6-only infrastructure can now leverage secure print capabilities on HP and Lexmark devices.
Education Edition enhancements:
New features designed for higher education institutions empower administrators to control student printing more efficiently:
• Quota management: Set user-specific print and copy limits.
• Shared accounts: Quotas are pooled across all users in a group for flexible management.
• Admin tools: View and adjust print activity, issue refunds, and more—directly from the admin dashboard.
"Pharos Cloud is responding with agility and foresight to the evolving needs of today’s digital workplace" said Robert Palmer, Research Vice President with IDC’s Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group. “Its support for emerging requirements like Windows Protected Print and Windows on Arm devices demonstrates a forward-thinking approach that enterprises should be looking for in a modern print management platform.”
