Globally set the security permissions by right-clicking the Print Server(s) > Properties > Security and editing the permissions there. When using Windows 2008 Server, on the Server Manager navigate to the Print Management Console. Perform these steps for each of the monitored printers. In the Permissions area, clear the Manage Documents check box. Right-click a printer then select Printer properties. Open the printer configuration screen: Start > Printers. Log on as an Administrator to the server hosting the printers. To restrict security permissions for a queue: On these systems you should secure printing using PaperCut TCP/IP ports. However, it might interfere with printing on Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2. This method works for most versions of Windows. Restricting Windows print queue security permissions To check which port is being used, have a look at the Printer Properties > Ports tab. For more information about configuring the PaperCut TCP/IP port, see Windows printer queue configuration. The PaperCut TCP/IP port is required if you are using hardware page count validation. Restrict the print queue security permissions to prevent users from performing management functions. If you are using hardware page count validation, you need to use the PaperCut TCP/IP port. There are two ways a Windows print queue can be secured:Ĭonfigure the queue using the standard TCP/IP port. It is important, especially in charging environments, that the queue is secured to prevent users from resuming jobs themselves and bypassing PaperCut NG/MF. When using Release Stations or account selection popups, PaperCut NG/MF pauses jobs on the Windows print queue to hold jobs prior to printing. Network printer configuration Step 2: Print queue configuration For more details see Running in a Workgroup environment. In workgroup environments (that is, where no domain is present), some additional configuration is required. Printers are configured correctly and work before installing PaperCut NG/MF. PaperCut NG/MF needs to be installed on the system directly hosting the printer(s), that is, the print server. The operating system version is supported and patches are up to date (see PaperCut MF System Requirements). Step 1: System requirements and network setupīefore installing PaperCut NG/MF for either evaluation or production use, verify the system requirements: If you're upgrading from a previous PaperCut NG/MF version, refer to the directions outlined in Upgrade from a previous version. The process is similar for other Windows operating systems. This guide assumes that you are using Windows Server 2008.
