I would like to configure a firewall on the server. What ports does PaperCut use?

The main network TCP ports used by PaperCut are:

• 9191 for HTTP connections
• 9192 for secure HTTP/SSL connection
• 9193 for device RPC (only used for embedded copier/MFP solutions)

UDP ports are not used for connections from PaperCut client to the sever, only standard TCP. All connections are made inbound from clients and secondary servers to the primary server. No outbound connections are made by the primary server to any workstation or secondary server.

PaperCut uses standard HTTP XML WebServices for client-server and server-server communication (XML-RPC). The PaperCut installer on Windows and Mac will endeavor to make sure these ports are open. Linux systems running firewalls may need to manual open these ports to local network IP addresses as appropriate.
