PaperCut: Doesn't Hurt As Bad As You Think
- Centralized printing via virtual hold / release queues.
- Confidential and secure printing via card authentication.
- Scan to folder/email integration with Active Directory.
- Printer specific scripting actions give you a ton of options. The canned scripts are super helpful as they are prebuilt and need very little modification.
- Overall printing reports are very informative.
- Mobility Print gives you a great solution for printing from Chromebook devices.
- Integration with Google Cloud Print never really worked for us.
- Sometimes the job log reports are hard to follow.
- The PaperCut application sometimes requires a machine reboot when connection to the print server is lost.
- The biggest ROI impact would be that we are saving money every year by printing less and less.
- As part of moving towards this centralized model, we no longer purchase new printers.
- The only negative was the initial push back from users that have been printing to local printers for years and years. This is something that will obviously go away over time.
