Local Printer support with PaperCut

Are local desktop printers (USB printers) supported with PaperCut?

Yes. Local desktop printers such as USB printers directly connected to a workstation can be tracked by PaperCut. To do so you simply need to install the PaperCut Direct Print Monitor on the workstation that the USB printer is connected to.

If you’re looking to set up Find Me Printing with a direct-connected printer, check out the Direct Printing Find me section of the PaperCut NG/MF help center.
