Print Management on Epson: Pull Print, Follow-Me & Cost Accounting
Docuflair Print for Epson MFPs
Docuflair Print runs natively as a Open Platform embedded app directly on the touchscreen of Epson multifunction devices. Pull-print, follow-me printing, BYOD, cost accounting per cost centre and GDPR-compliant printing on one platform — on-premises or dedicated private cloud, never public cloud.
Native Integration: Docuflair App Directly on the Epson Touchscreen
Docuflair runs as an embedded app on the Epson Open Platform platform. No additional print server required — authentication, job overview and cost accounting appear directly on the MFP control panel.
Login at the Epson MFP
Card reader (MIFARE, LEGIC, HID iCLASS, DESFire), PIN code or AD/Entra ID login directly at the touchscreen. No detour through a web portal or extra app.
Job list on the display
Users see pending jobs, can delete duplicates, switch colour to B&W or enable duplex — all before paper moves from the tray.
OneDrive & cloud printing at the device
Documents from OneDrive, SharePoint, NextCloud and network shares open and print directly on the Epson display — no PC intermediary, no driver.
Cost accounting on the touchscreen
Budget balance, remaining pages and cost-centre allocation visible directly. Billing to cost centre / department / user automated.
Docuflair Print vs. Epson Print Admin / Epson Device Admin
When does Docuflair make sense instead of the Epson-native print-management solution?
Epson Print Admin is Epson's in-house authentication and accounting solution; Epson Device Admin handles fleet management. The Docuflair Open Platform app delivers pull-print, follow-me and cost accounting in a vendor-neutral way and integrates Epson MFPs into mixed fleets.
Decision criteria
- Homogeneous fleet (Epson only): Epson Print Admin / Epson Device Admin may suffice if you have no other document-related needs (scan, archive, compliance) and don't plan to add devices from other vendors.
- Mixed fleet or expansion planned: Docuflair is vendor-neutral — integrate Epson today and add Sharp, Xerox or HP tomorrow without a second system.
- Compliance requirements (GDPR, BSI): Docuflair is on-premises / private cloud (never public cloud) and has BSI references in government projects. Vendor-native solutions increasingly push towards cloud.
- Integration with Scan/Archive/Redact: If you also use Docuflair Scan, Archive or Redact, vendor print modules are duplicate point solutions — one contract, one training, one audit trail is more efficient with Docuflair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Docuflair Print on Epson MFPs.
How does Docuflair Print integrate Epson MFPs?
Epson is natively supported via the Epson Open Platform platform. The Docuflair app runs directly on the MFP touchscreen and provides full control over pull-print, follow-me, cost accounting and GDPR-compliant printing.
Do I need a separate print-management solution in addition to Epson Print Admin / Epson Device Admin?
Epson Print Admin is Epson's in-house authentication and accounting solution; Epson Device Admin handles fleet management. The Docuflair Open Platform app delivers pull-print, follow-me and cost accounting in a vendor-neutral way and integrates Epson MFPs into mixed fleets.
Does Docuflair Print also work in mixed fleets with other vendors?
Yes. Docuflair is vendor-neutral and supports Sharp, Xerox, Kyocera, Canon, Ricoh, Konica Minolta natively (embedded app) plus HP, Lexmark, Toshiba, Brother and OKI via universal IP queue. You get a unified authentication, quota and reporting system across all devices — regardless of vendor.
