!!Can you use the PaperCut Print Script API with Mobility Print?
Of course! It just takes one simple step to get this up and going before you can start scripting away. Below we explain the steps to take, and provide a sample script to get you started.
!!Enable the Document Name Prefix
Before starting, you will need to follow these steps so that PaperCut can identify which jobs are from Mobility Print.
#On your Mobility Print server, navigate to [app-directory]/PaperCut Mobility Print/data/config. In Windows, this path will be “C:\Program Files (x86)\PaperCut Mobility Print\data\config\”
#Open the file mobility-print-conf.toml in a text editor and add this line “EnableDocumentNamePrefix = true”.
#Save the document.
#Finally restart the Mobility Print service for the changes to take effect.
Now any jobs submitted via Mobility Print the document name will be prefixed with (mp:<source>) where source is one of iOS, macOS, windows, android, chrome or unknown. Administrators can use this value in their scripts to extract client type.
!!Automatically charge to Personal Account
Use the example script below to automatically charge to the user’s personal account (instead of showing an account selection popup) when a job comes from any Mobility Print source.
[@function printJobHook(inputs, actions) {
var MOBILITY = [ 'mp:ios', 'mp:macos', ‘mp:windows', ‘mp:chrome’, ‘mp:chrome'];
if (matchesAny(inputs.job.documentName, MOBILITY)){
// Automatically charge all Mobility Print jobs to a user's personal account
actions.job.chargeToPersonalAccount();
return;
} @]
