Configure the Advanced User Client

This page applies to:

or “What is the Advanced Client?”

The Advanced Client (for Professional Business)

The Advanced Client provides powerful features to allow users to quickly assign printing to accounts selected from a large list of clients or projects. It is:

  • standard with PaperCut NG Professional licenses (aimed at Engineering, Architecture, Graphic Design, Legal Firms etc.)
  • an optional extra in PaperCut NG Education and Business.

Difference between the Standard and Advanced Client

The Advanced Client provides a more powerful set of account selection options over the top of the Standard Client, including:

  • keyword-based search
  • sort accounts by custom criteria
  • maintain a list of preferred accounts facilitating quick selection
  • a history of recently selected accounts
  • the ability to add comments to a job (will be included in the Job Log and certain Reports)
  • users can apply cost adjustments to a print job at time of printing.

The Advanced Client is ideal for organizations with very large account lists (100- 100,000), or nested accounts structures.

Note that with the Standard Client, you can still select shared accounts, as seen below. However, you won’t get the advanced features (like search) listed above with the Standard Client:

Installing or enabling the Advanced Client

The Advanced Client uses the same software as the standard client. See the client installation instructions for your operating system here:
