Grant this user local administrator rights on the print server where it is installed.
CPLOT QUEUE PASSWORD
If there are multiple domains involved it might be easier to create local users on each print server that all have the same username and password.Įnsure that the Password never expires option is selected. This account has permission to print on both/all print servers. First a service account is created with permission to create new print jobs:Ĭreate a new domain user called papercut_service (or something suitably descriptive). The recommended way to escalate the privileges of the PaperCut Print Provider service to the required level is as follows.

Therefore to enable this functionality the privileges of the PaperCut Print Provider service must be escalated. This account does not have the privileges required to access another system and place a print job in one of its queues.
CPLOT QUEUE WINDOWS
For security reasons this service, as for most other Windows services, runs as the SYSTEM account.

The PaperCut Print Provider service is the Windows service responsible for interaction with print queues. This section covers the steps necessary to set it up. To enable redirection of print jobs from one Windows print server to another some additional configuration is required. PaperCut NG/MF supports redirecting print jobs across print servers, but due to technical limitations the print servers must be running the same operating system (e.g. If the job is released to a grayscale printer it is logged and charged as a grayscale job. This also applies if there is a single virtual queue. This ensures the job is logged as grayscale, and the user is charged correctly (i.e. IMPORTANT If a physical printer is a grayscale printer then it is recommended that you set the color detection mode to This is a grayscale printer in PaperCut NG/MF. There are no technical problems with this approach, however, it is a little more complicated for users to understand. Using a single virtual queue is also a valid option. Grayscale virtual queue - configured to default to grayscale printing, the color mode detection set to This is a grayscale printer, and can release on all printers (including color printers).Ĭolor virtual queue - configured to default to color printing, and can only release to color printers. This makes it simpler for users to understand where to print and what they’ll be charged if they need color or grayscale printing. Often the simplest approach is to configure 2 virtual queues: one configured as a color queue and the other as a grayscale queue. When the organization has a mix of grayscale and color printers it is important to configure Find-Me Printing carefully. As a general rule, don’t override the cost, or if it must be overridden, communicate this situation to your users beforehand.

If, after the job is redirected, the cost changes, the user might become confused. For example, the cost that is displayed in the Release Station and/or client popup is as calculated by the virtual queue settings. IMPORTANT If used incorrectly, the Cost and filter settings are overridden by the target queue option can be very confusing to end users. Use this option with care and careful consideration. The settings are overridden by the option Cost and filter settings are overridden by the target queue.
CPLOT QUEUE FULL
Implementing a page or job size filter at the target queue level can help prevent problems.Ī printer might not support the full range of paper sizes and can jam if an incorrect paper size is selected. There might, however, be some special cases where you want to apply cost and filter settings based on the target queue/printer selected instead :Ī printer might have less memory than others and jam/error on large jobs. This ensures that you have a common cost and access policy across all printers associated with that queue - a model that your end users can easily understand. The default (and recommended) setup is to have the filter and cost settings applied to the virtual queue, For example, the global “find-me-queue” as explained in the examples.
