Learn How Papercut Can Help You
PaperCut NG provides organisations with the technology to control the use of network printing. You may choose to implement PaperCut NG with different monitoring models. These range from silent monitoring, to quota enforcement, to charging on a user-pays model. PaperCut NG integrates with your network's existing print servers to instantly enable real-time monitoring, quota control, activity reports and flexible administration. PaperCut makes end-users responsible for their own activity and ensures network resources are used in a sensible manner.
The implementation of a solution reduces paper and toner waste, cuts costs, reduces the impact of your organisations paper output on the environment and makes both end-users, be they users or staff, and departments more accountable. PaperCut NG provides access to detailed reports that illustrate the environmental impact of your organisations paper output and allow you to make the correct policy and purchasing decisions. PaperCut NG provides genuine cross-platform support and can operate in most networking environments including those that use Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, RM or LDAP for authentication with options to utilise Windows, Novell Open Enterprise (OES), Mac and Linux print servers with full pop-up messaging support on Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix clients.
