Papercut Integration: Description and Setup

Papercut is a powerful print management system, eliminating the pain of loading drivers for each of your members and co-members. In addition, Papercut tracks copies, prints, scans and faxes made under the member's printer code. The Papercut report of usage by member can be uploaded to Deskworks monthly for one-click posting to all member accounts, automatically sweeping charges to invoices.

The Deskworks integration with Papercut does the following:

•  When a new member is created, the following Deskworks fields from Member Profile are pushed to Papercut

• Notes:
  
  • The Username Alias in Papercut changes as the Deskworks Login changes. Papercut Username is fixed and does not change.
  • When information on the Member Profile changes or the member is deactivated, the change is pushed to Papercut.
  • Co-members are also pushed to Papercut.
    
    Setup
    Once you have an account with Papercut, typically purchased through your printer vendor, the steps are:
