Wireless Printing for Business Efficiency 

Wireless printing is a must-have for UK companies. You want to send print jobs over Wi-Fi from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, depending on the situation. Konica Minolta printers available on our UK e-shop feature strong wireless capabilities to support your organisation. 

 
Your printer must support wireless connectivity (via Wi-Fi) or be connected to your company’s network via cable so it is accessible to wireless devices. You can then configure the printer and make it discoverable on the network. 
 

How wireless printing works depends on the devices and technology used. Traditional wireless printing may require you to install the right apps on your mobile devices or configure drivers on your laptops. 
 

A variant of this technology is Wi-Fi Direct printing. In this case, you don’t send a print job over the office network; instead, you connect a device directly to a compatible printer via Wi-Fi. 

Wireless or Wi-Fi printing is now almost taken for granted: everyone expects office printers to be available via the (wireless) office network. 

Driverless Printing: Hassle-Free Solutions from Konica Minolta 

Printing without drivers is a real advantage for businesses. Konica Minolta’s Universal Print Driver and Microsoft Universal Print (add link to our Microsoft Universal Print) compatibility let you print without installing drivers, making IT management easier for your team. Explore our driverless print options on the Konica Minolta UK e-shop. 
 

Driverless printing is possible thanks to the close integration of printers with the operating system your staff use. Central to this is the Universal Print Driver (UPD), which can control a wide range of printers from a manufacturer. 
 

Drivers from major manufacturers, such as Konica Minolta, are increasingly integrated into operating systems. For example, Windows 11 works with many printers without any additional software installation, thanks to its built-in IPP and UPD support. 

Serverless Printing: Modern Solutions for UK Offices 

Serverless printing increases workplace productivity. Print jobs go directly to the printer, removing the need for a dedicated print server. Konica Minolta’s serverless solutions, including Microsoft Universal Print, featured on our UK e-shop, help streamline your office and reduce IT workload. 
 

Multiple printers form a serverless pull printing group. Print jobs are stored on an MFP and released by user authentication. 
 

This approach contrasts with infrastructure, where a print server manages jobs, either on-premises or in the cloud (such as Microsoft Universal Print and Google Cloud Print), and routes them to the correct printers. 
 

Serverless printing shifts job management to MFPs, reducing IT complexity despite minimal user-facing changes. 

Efficiency Gains 

When wireless, driverless, and serverless printing become the standard, your office print setup is much more straightforward. Printing is seamless for both IT teams and employees. Installing drivers is a thing of the past, which supports a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) strategy and drastically speeds up the configuration of new devices during onboarding. 
 

For IT managers, the benefit lies in time savings and simplified management. Administrators no longer need to maintain print servers or configure end-user devices.
