Deleting users from PaperCut
PaperCut's user list is a "mirror" of the underlying server or domain user list. Any new users added to the domain will appear in PaperCut (either on next user/group sync or on first-print). Any users deleted off the domain will be removed during the next synchronization if the "delete users" option is selected.
It is common in an academic environment to have to delete user accounts on mass at the end the academic year. The recommended procedure is:
Options->Backup area as documented in detail here. Deleting user accounts is a destructive operation so it's always a good idea to take a backup beforehand!
Options->User/Group Sync, check on the option Delete old users when synchronizing, then press Synchronize Now.
Options, and press the TuneUp button. When prompted, say Yes to deleting old users.
Note: Deleting a user will not delete the user's print history data. All historical log data will remain.
