PaperCut NG lets you limit and control printer use within your organization. Whether you're an IT manager or an academic administrator, PapaCutNG is the perfect way to create quotas and monitor usage for everyone who accesses your organization's printers.
Your resources, under control
- Go green. Allowing students or employees unlimited printer access can lead to wastefulness. Limit individual usage, or charge for printing.
- Track crucial usage data. Integrate with your existing directories to create user accounts, or monitor printer usage amongst individual departments.
- Get started quickly. PaperCut NG is easy to implement, so you'll be up and running in no time.
PaperCut NG uses a pricing structure which is dependent on the type of enterprise and the number of users. A pricing table may be found here.
