Resetting the PaperCut Hive or Pocket app (Android & iOS)

Troubleshooting linking issues

If jobs still do not appear in the Job Log after relinking, or if you see “Something went wrong” errors, ensure you are using a new, valid invitation or linking code.

If the issue persists, ask your administrator to open a support ticket at support.papercut.com with the following details:
