Remote Print Service

Printanista Workflow allows managed printing from remote devices outside the network (Chromebooks for example). Printanista Workflow provides a gateway between physical printers and a Workflow-hosted cloud service. The Remote Print Service must be configured in the WorkflowWeb Admininstrator, and then users will be required to install an application upon their mobile device.
