Printers are the IT equipment most likely to cause headaches after a move. Cloudswitched ensures every device is connected, configured and ready to print on day one.
Network printers, local printers, multifunction devices and scanners — all connected and tested on your new office network.
Correct print drivers are installed on every workstation, with settings configured for paper size, colour and default trays.
Multifunction devices are configured for scan-to-email and scan-to-folder on the new network, with updated SMTP and file path settings.
Printers are notoriously problematic after an office move. IP addresses change, network settings are different, drivers need updating and scan-to-email stops working because the mail server configuration has changed. It sounds simple, but printer issues are one of the most common complaints on the first day at a new office. Cloudswitched takes care of every printer, copier and scanner as part of your IT relocation. We reconnect each device to the new network, update IP addresses, install or update drivers on every workstation, reconfigure scan-to-email settings and test print and scan functions from multiple computers. The result is that printing works seamlessly from the moment your team sits down.
Your new office almost certainly has a different IP range. Every network printer needs its IP address updated and every workstation needs its print queue reconfigured.
Scan-to-email and scan-to-folder rely on SMTP server settings and network paths that change with a move. These must be manually updated on every device.
New printers, new operating system updates or a different print server may require driver updates across all workstations.
Printers rely on specific network settings — IP addresses, DNS, SMTP for scanning — that change when you move. Every device and every workstation needs updating, which is tedious but essential.
Yes. We coordinate with your managed print provider to ensure their devices are reconnected and reporting correctly on the new network.
We can recommend suitable replacements, procure new devices and configure them as part of the move project. This is often more cost-effective than relocating very old printers.
Yes. If you use or want to implement follow-me (pull) printing, we can set up the software and configure it on all printers and workstations.
For a typical office with three to five printers and twenty to thirty workstations, printer setup takes two to four hours. We schedule this as part of the Sunday testing phase of a weekend move.
