PaperCut MF 20.1
PaperCut MF 20.1 comes with an updated format: PaperCut will no longer have a “new release”, but instead will have a continuous delivery of new updates. Don’t worry, you’ll still have early access to all of the upcoming product updates – it just means that you and your customers will get access to certain features sooner… what’s not to love about that?!
 Microsoft Universal PrintPaperCut released their Universal Print connector in July. Learn more about it here. Version 20.1 includes the Universal Print connector at no additional cost, so make sure your customers are ready for the Windows Universal Print launch early in 2021.  Mobility Print with Cloud PrintAs you may already know, Google Cloud Print is deprecated as of 31st December 2020. PaperCut added Mobility Print with Cloud Print in Version 20, this month they introduced the beta version to Windows, macOS and BYOD Chromebooks. It’s great for those who need a like-for-like alternative to Google Cloud Print. |
