Printer Expert

Requirements

In-depth knowledge of Windows client and server operating systems as well as enterprise printing and network printing

In-depth knowledge of SecurePrint, SecureScan, and print management solutions

In-depth knowledge of network printing (RAW, IPP) and Windows Mopria

Basic knowledge of certificates and IEEE 802.1X

Basic knowledge of cloud/hybrid architectures, IPv6, ZTNA, and network segmentation (firewall/EPG)

Basic knowledge for technical documentation and structured analysis

The Service Area A12 is responsible for, among other things, the provision and operation of printing devices and their associated software. The printing devices include workstation printers (USB), network printers, multifunction printers, and special printers (e.g., plotters and label printers). This includes, among other things, Secure Print, Secure Scan, fleet management, print management, and the Printer Management desktop application.

The execution of several Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to evaluate a new FollowPrint solution is planned.

As part of the PoC, requirements from the areas of ZTNA, conversion of the Windows print infrastructure to IPP, introduction of IEEE 802.1X and IPv6 for network printing devices, and the conversion of the digital service card (DES-Fire) will also be considered.

Relevant skill focus areas:

The external service provider supports the technical project manager in the preparation, execution, and documentation of the Proof of Concept. The Lead Analyst (PG3) is to take over the following tasks:

• Scope of services / task description:
• Requirements analysis and integration of printing solutions
• Installation, configuration, and operation of Secure Print and Secure Scan solutions
• Implementation of IT security policies
• Analysis of technical requirements and development of alternative solutions
• Communication, documentation, and sub-project support
• RFCs / Work packages to be implemented and commissioning of the external service provider:
• Participation in the planning, preparation, and coordination of Proofs of Concept (PoCs) for the introduction of a SecurePrint/SecureScan solution
• Support in the integration and commissioning of the manufacturer's solution into the existing print and scan infrastructure (fleet management solution of the printer manufacturers)
• Preparation of technical analyses and documentation of PoC results as a basis for decision-making for the project manager
• Contribution to the evaluation of cloud, hybrid, and on-premises scenarios, including technical advantages and disadvantages
• Preparation and execution of configuration adjustments to printer drivers, software components, and firmware
• Participation in the conversion of the print infrastructure to IPP and support in the introduction of modern printing protocols
• Support in the introduction and technical implementation of IEEE 802.1X authentication for network printing devices and multifunction systems
• Participation in the evaluation of IPv6 requirements and the conversion of the digital service card (DESFire) in the printing environment
• Technical support for network and security topics such as ZTNA, firewall, EPG, segmentation, and certificate infrastructure
• Creation and maintenance of technical documentation, test protocols, and configuration documents
• Collaboration with manufacturers and 3rd-level support for the analysis and follow-up of technical issues
• Preparation of workshops for internal employees, coordination meetings, and technical decision documents
