Mobility Print is a feature that enables printing from any device to printers managed by a PaperCut MF or NG server. Here’s a general guide on how to set up Mobility Print:

Requirements:

Before setting up Mobility Print, ensure you have the following:

  1. PaperCut MF/NG Server: You need a PaperCut MF (Multifunction) or NG (Next Generation) server set up and running in your organization.
  2. Supported Printers: Mobility Print works with printers that are compatible with PaperCut MF/NG and support print release and/or print accounting.
  3. Network Connectivity: Both the device from which you want to print and the printer should be connected to the same network.

Setting Up Mobility Print:

  1. Access PaperCut Admin Interface:
    • Log in to the PaperCut admin interface using your administrator credentials.
  2. Enable Mobility Print:
    • Navigate to Options or Settings (depending on your version) > Mobility Print.
    • Enable Mobility Print if it’s not already enabled. You may need to accept the Terms and Conditions.
  3. Download Mobility Print Software:
    • Click on the link to download the Mobility Print installer appropriate for your server’s operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  4. Install Mobility Print:
    • Run the downloaded installer on your PaperCut server.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
  5. Configure Printers:

    • Choose the Mobility Print printer from the list of available printers.
    • Follow any prompts to authenticate if necessary (depending on your organization’s setup).
    • The document should be sent to the printer and can be released for printing via PaperCut’s print release options if configured.

Additional Considerations:

  • Authentication: Depending on your organization’s security policies, you may need to authenticate before printing.
  • Mobile Devices: For printing from mobile devices (iOS, Android), you may need to download and install the Mobility Print app from the respective app store.
