Setting up a printer in a local area network can be frustrating as well but this could be – thanks to Printer Anywhere – a thing of the past. Printer Anywhere makes it easy to send a print job to another computer that is also running Printer Anywhere.

The benefit is that the software uses the Internet to send it to the other computer which means that no cable or wireless connection to the computer is needed to get the job done. Another benefit is that you can print papers in a different office, city or even country using Printer Anywhere which might be interesting for companies who have offices in different cities and countries.

Your local printers (yes even network printers) will be shown in the application and you can select if you want to share them. It is also possible to encrypt the print job before sending it over the Internet.

A new printer called Printer Anywhere will be added during installation and you can choose all active printers that are connected using the Printer Anywhere software for a print job if you choose to print on that new printer.

If the remote printer is not available right now the print job will land in a queue. Once the printer goes back online the user at the other end has the option to print on the printer it has been send to or on another printer in his network.
