PrinterLogic alternative: Tenvara
PrinterLogic from Vasion, sold for a time as Vasion Print, replaces print servers with centrally managed direct IP printing, and adds secure release, self-service installs and reporting. MSPs often use it to control which printers and drivers each machine gets. Tenvara deploys printers and drivers through the agent you already install, with no print server, and watches each printer's status, toner and page count, with secure release, quotas and self-service printers too.

The one-app pitch
What else you'd replace
Most MSPs running PrinterLogic pay for several other tools beside it. Tenvara does these jobs too, on the same customer record, with one agent and one login.

Moving from PrinterLogic
A calm move, not a big bang. Run both side by side until your team is happy.
How a gradual move to Tenvara works-
1
Deploy the agent alongside
Install the Tenvara agent on each computer. It carries the printers module, so there is nothing extra to deploy.
Installing the agent -
2
Find and add printers
Run a discovery from a device at each site to find its printers and add them in a click, or add printers by hand.
Adding printers and finding them on a network -
3
Let Tenvara find the drivers
Tenvara looks for each Windows driver in the Microsoft Update Catalog and a library of signed vendor universal drivers. Upload your own package and map models to it where you want a particular driver.
Driver sources and the device for printer work -
4
Take over the old queues
Devices > Printers, the Unmanaged queues tab, lists the queues Tenvara did not add on each customer's devices, grouped by printer. Take over installs Tenvara's printer as the default where the old queue was, then removes the old queue once the new one reports installed.

PrinterLogic vs Tenvara: FAQ
Windows, macOS and Linux devices running the Tenvara agent.
The agent installs each printer as a local queue that prints straight to the printer, so there is no print server and printing keeps working if Tenvara is unreachable.
Run a discovery from any device with the agent at the site. It scans the network on the print ports, SNMP and mDNS and lists the printers it finds, ready to add.
Yes. One agent at each site checks its printers over SNMP every five minutes, and low toner, offline printers and failed installs raise alerts, and your alert rules turn them into tickets.
Tenvara is coming soon.
Apply for the beta to run Tenvara side by side with PrinterLogic before you decide, or get launch updates and hear first when pricing is announced.
