Every print job goes through your rules

Diwink holds each document on the PC: no print server, even offline.

Free for up to 5 seats.

A print job held, then released on approvalAn employee prints the Monthly report, 30 pages. Diwink holds it on her PC, because the Accounting quota has 12 pages left. She asks for 20 more pages, the manager approves, and the report prints.Monthly report30 pagesAccounting12 pages left+20 pages?

Document contents are never stored and never leave your network.

Diwink records only print metadata: who printed, on which printer, how many pages, when. Recording document names is optional.

Security and privacy

Up and running in three steps

The three steps in detail
  1. Create your organisation

    Sign up with your work e-mail address, then invite your colleagues from the panel.

  2. Install the agent on the PCs

    The panel gives you the installer, to run on each PC or deploy remotely.

  3. Print under your rules

    Each person links their Windows account once from the Diwink app. Your rules apply from the first print job.

Diwink Cloud or Diwink Server

The same agent and the same app on your PCs. You choose where the server runs.

Questions before you start

Do we need a print server?

No. Nothing to install between your PCs and your printers: the Diwink agent holds each document on the PC itself, until your rules allow it.

What if the server stops responding?

Each PC keeps applying the last rules it received, with its share of the quotas and the limits you set. Its print records reach the server as soon as the connection is back.

Do we need Active Directory?

No. On Diwink Cloud, everyone signs in to their Diwink account with their work e-mail address. On Diwink Server, users come from Diwink, from Active Directory, or both.

Can an employee get around Diwink?

Without administrator rights, an employee can neither stop nor uninstall the agent. The rules sent to the PCs are signed, and on network printers an alert flags the pages printed outside Diwink.

How do we install the agent?

The panel gives you the MSI package and its install command, to run on each PC or deploy by Group Policy or Intune.

Which PCs and printers?

Windows 10 and 11 PCs, printing to network or USB printers.

In which languages?

The panel, the app and the e-mails speak French, English and Arabic; in Arabic, everything reads right to left.
