Web Print is PaperCut’s unique and industry leading solution to manage the growing need for printing from laptops, wireless devices and anonymous users. As a core feature of PaperCut, Web Print enables printing from user-owned devices without the overhead of installing printer drivers and managing server authentication.

Web Print resolves this complexity by allowing users to upload common document formats such as PDF and DOC via a simple web interface, printing the document on a user’s behalf. No client software or drivers are required. Users simply follow an easy three step process:

1. Selecting a printer

Users first select the printer they would like to print their job to. PaperCut will automatically generate a list of printers that are available, or alternatively the list may be overlayed with a map, floor plan or site plan. Maps and plans can easily be created with free tools in standard formats such as HTML or SVG, or exported from applications such as Microsoft Office Visio.

2. Choosing print options

Next the user selects print options. The administrator may also allow access to shared account charging features, equivalent to the options available to desktop users with the PaperCut client tool.
