Flexible printer setup with Direct Printing
PaperCut makes it easy to print from a computer to a printer without a print server. Businesses of any size can track and report on printing keeping configuration, administration and reporting simple.
Are you a Small to Medium Business (SMB) with a small number of computers, no dedicated IT support, a lean or cloud-based network infrastructure or no budget to increase hardware?
A simple SMB configuration with computers and an App server.
Consider this alternative PaperCut deployment model to simplify set up for new printers. There’s no need to add a print server or change printer or network configuration, saving time on installation.
Organizations with distributed branches are ideal for Direct Printing, including post offices, bank branches, gas stations, and retail outlets. Headquarters can track and report on printing using a print server, but avoid the cost and maintenance of having one in each branch.
Organization with head office hosting the print server and other server infrastructure.
The combination of Direct Printing and a private cloud implementation of PaperCut can eliminate the need for any local server infrastructure by hosting the App server offsite. Visit the Direct Printing Tour .
Notifications for Printer Groups
Get the right printer notification to the right person in your organization. Now administrators can select who receives print error notifications for any collection of printers by groups, department or building. Notifications include “printer in error” and “low toner” alerts. Coupled with ’timely alerts’ these notifications allow for quicker response times for devices in error.
Notify the right administrator of each printer group when a device they are responsible for is in error.
Easier Mail Server Setup
Configure email servers easily from the Admin User Interface, enabling notifications about important events that you want to be alerted to.

SMTP Encryption now enabled from the Notifications Tab.
