Printers
To talk to the printer, PaperCut Hive/Pocket uses IPP or IPPS (Internet Printing Protocol, and then the secure version of the same thing). Check to see if your printer supports IPP. It’ll sometimes be listed under a “security” feature or sometimes as “network protocol” or “printing protocol” or equivalent phrasing. Most modern printers support IPP.
The language we use to send the print job to the device is PDF - so if your printer supports PDF as a printer language, you’re good to go! This is typically listed as the “printer language” or “language” on manufacturer websites.
Devices / Multi-Function Devices (MFDs)
When it comes to PaperCut Hive, you can install an app onto the device itself:
- Lite Release App - This app allows you to log in to the device to release your print jobs instead of using the mobile app.
- Full Embedded App - This app allows you to:
- Release your print jobs by logging in to the device.
- Track copying and scanning through PaperCut Hive. (Similar to PaperCut MF, if you come from that world!)
Please be aware that this page is only a rough guide to device compatibility. Chat with your PaperCut Hive Accredited Reseller to discuss your requirements and options on each device.

* Our full embedded app on this platform requires inbound calls to perform actions such as logging in with a card and unlocking a device for copying. Since our cloud services cannot speak directly to these devices, we require an edge node to communicate with them. If you are using this manufacturer, please ensure you have an online and stable edge node that can communicate directly with your MFDs on the local network. Please look at the System Requirements page’s embedded applications section.
