Welcome to the Q2 2026 release for PaperCut Hive!
We’ve delivered powerful, practical tools that give you more control and save you time, headlined by the highly anticipated introduction of Groups. Taking user sync to the next level, Groups introduces a natively built connection that allows you to sync your entire organizational structure, not just individual users, replacing manual, one-by-one administration with seamless group-based automation. You can now manage users at scale, deploy print queues seamlessly, and unlock zero-maintenance cost tracking with new Departmental Reports.
Dive into the details below to see how these new features can enhance printing within your organization.

USER MANAGEMENT
Manage users at scale with our upgraded directory sync
Upgrade to a fully integrated directory sync experience, built for growing organizations. Move beyond basic individual user imports and gain granular control over exactly who gets brought into PaperCut Hive by selecting specific groups, eliminating the administrative bottleneck.
Sync only the users you need
Keep your environment clean, relevant, and secure by filtering your sync. You can easily select specific groups from your directory to import, ensuring only the necessary users are added to PaperCut Hive.
Native, built-in connection
Enjoy a robust, secure connection to your identity provider. Directory sync lives directly within your core admin settings, making configuration and ongoing management straightforward.
Automated user maintenance
Once your selected groups are synced, your user list stays up-to-date. As staff join, leave, or move departments in your directory, PaperCut Hive automatically reflects those changes without manual intervention.
PRINT MANAGEMENT
Automate policies and queues for every team
By leveraging your synced directory groups, you can intelligently automate access, distribute budgets, and deploy printers at scale. Stop managing print user-by-user and deliver exactly what every team needs instantly.
Automated quotas
Assign starting balances and schedule regular top-ups based on group membership. Ensure different departments, classes, or years always have the right print allowances automatically applied.
Intelligent queue deployment
Deploy specific printers directly to the relevant departments or teams. Users only see the print queues they actually need, streamlining their experience and tightening security.
Bulk management at scale
Send invites, update credit balances, and change account restrictions across entire groups in seconds. Scaling your print environment no longer means scaling your IT workload.
