SysAdmin (IT administration) Tools

🔎 Find this feature in the admin interface: Configure > Easy printing > Administrators

Chances are, as a SysAdmin you’re juggling networking, maintenance, laptop-fixing, user training, lost-file finding, undercover therapy, and printing needs - all in the course of a normal day. We think it’s our duty to help out system administrators with printing needs in whatever small way we can!

Low toner alerts

Configure > Easy printing > Administrators > Low Toner Alerts

A stitch in time saves nine… or something like that. Get the early heads-up on which printers are low on toner - before it becomes a lunch-stopping issue.

You can configure not only who the alerts go to, but also configure what level the toner can drop to before alerting.

Printer ID labels

Configure > Easy printing > Administrators > Printer ID Labels

A handy label wizard to take you through printing labels that you might need for your printers. Y’know, so that people can use the amazing features like secure release with a QR Code!

Printer discovery

Configure → Easy printing → Administrators → Printer Discovery

The beauty of networks is that they can be set up in so many different ways. The tricky thing about networks is that they can be set up in so many different ways!

To help you customize where and how the printers are found, PaperCut Pocket and Hive have lots of options for choosing what makes the most sense in your environment:

• Search addresses - Tell PaperCut Pocket or Hive where to find printers, so that the printers can be published or left unpublished. This feature can be just as handy for ‘hiding’ printers from PaperCut, and also narrowing down the amount of sleuthing PaperCut has to do to find them. The feature can also be handy if your users roam around to different work environments too - where they could pick up printers from other networks that you don’t want to be added to your organization.
• Discovery technique - Select whether new printers are discovered on both Super Nodes and Edge Nodes, or whether you only want PaperCut to find new printers from Super Nodes. This can be handy if people have USB printers that they use at home or elsewhere but you’re not really interested in having these published to other users. Instead, make the discovery process search and add printers only from ‘Super Nodes’.
