Users work across more locations and devices, identity management is becoming increasingly important, and IT teams are expected to maintain security and visibility without adding unnecessary administrative overhead.

With Printix 2026.3, generally available from September 2, 2026, Tungsten Automation is addressing exactly that challenge.

The latest release strengthens Printix across identity management, governance, mobile printing and MFD support, giving IT teams more ways to manage and scale their print environment while keeping operations simple.

Smarter identity management with SCIM provisioning

One of the key additions in Printix 2026.3 is SCIM-based user provisioning.

SCIM enables organizations to selectively provision groups into Printix, helping IT teams align print access more closely with their existing identity management processes.

Rather than treating print management as an isolated part of the IT environment, this brings user provisioning closer to the way organizations already manage identities and access across their wider technology stack.

For larger organizations in particular, this can mean more controlled user management and less manual administration. Printix also positions selective group provisioning as a way to reduce the potential attack surface. 

Greater visibility with the new System Observer role

More visibility does not always need to mean more administrative privileges.

Printix 2026.3 introduces a new System Observer role, providing read-only access to Printix settings.

Users assigned this role can view the configuration of the Printix environment without being able to make changes.

This separation between visibility and edit permissions can be particularly useful for organizations where multiple IT stakeholders, support teams or partners need insight into the print environment without requiring full administrative access.

It is a relatively simple addition, but one that can make governance clearer as Printix deployments grow.

Governance for Printix Copilot 

AI capabilities are becoming part of everyday enterprise applications, which means organizations also need greater transparency around how those capabilities are used.

Printix 2026.3 adds EU AI Act disclosure for Printix Copilot, supporting organizations with their AI governance and regulatory requirements.

It is another example of how enterprise print management is evolving beyond simply connecting users with printers.

Security, identity and governance increasingly need to be considered as part of the same environment.

More flexible printing from the portal and iOS

The release also gives users more flexibility in how they send documents to print.

PDF files can now be uploaded directly through the Printix portal and sent to a destination printer.

For iOS users, the enhanced Printix app extends this functionality through the native iOS share option, providing another way to print from mobile devices without requiring the Printix Client or Bonjour on the network for this workflow.

For organizations supporting hybrid and mobile users, these improvements help make printing less dependent on a traditional desktop setup.

The aim is straightforward: users should be able to print where they need to, while IT maintains centralized control of the environment.

Expanded MDF Support

Printix 2026.3 also extends the capabilities available across several multifunction device manufacturers.

The update introduces:

• Offline Access for Konica Minolta
• Clientless Print for HP OXPd
• Basic Accounting for Kyocera

For organizations managing mixed printer fleets, broader MFD support matters.

Printix is designed as a vendor-independent cloud print platform, allowing organizations to centrally manage users and network printers without maintaining traditional print server infrastructure.

The additional MFD capabilities in 2026.3 continue that direction by extending the functionality available across different device environments.

What Printix administrators need to know

The new functionality is only part of the Printix 2026.3 release.

There are also some important operational changes for existing Printix environments.

Once the new version goes live, tenants have 30 days to review and select their automatic update preference. The default option is General Version, which provides the generally available Printix Client to the organization.

Tungsten is also introducing an updated support approach for Printix Client.

The current release plus the two previous full releases will be supported. Versions outside that range will receive Limited Support. Tungsten states that its support lifecycle information and Printix documentation will be updated accordingly.

For IT administrators, this makes keeping Printix Clients current increasingly important—not only for access to new functionality, but also for security updates, process improvements and ongoing support.

What does Printix 2026.3 mean for IT teams? 

aken individually, the updates in Printix 2026.3 solve different problems.

Together, however, they point in the same direction.

More control over identity.
SCIM makes provisioning more closely aligned with modern identity management.

More visibility without unnecessary privileges.
System Observer introduces clearer separation between monitoring and administration.

More flexibility for users.
Portal and iOS enhancements create additional ways to print.

Broader device support.
New MFD Go capabilities extend Printix across more enterprise environments.

And all of this supports the broader objective behind Printix: providing a secure, scalable cloud print environment without bringing back the infrastructure and administrative complexity that organizations are trying to remove.

More control, less complexity. 

Printix 2026.3 continues the evolution of cloud print management from simply replacing print servers to becoming a more integrated part of the modern IT environment.

For organizations already using Printix, now is a good time to review the new capabilities, automatic update settings and client versions.

For organizations exploring cloud print management, the latest release provides even more options to securely manage users, devices and printing from one centralized environment.
