PaperCut has a number of filters & restrictions built in to manage print behavior. However, sometimes an organisation will have a particular requirement for PaperCut that does not fall within the standard feature set. Using PaperCut’s advanced scripting interface is a powerful and flexible feature that can be used to define and fine-tune any printing policy.
Whilst there are many features that can be enabled by ticking check-boxes and changing options in the admin interface, we are experienced in creating custom scripts to introduce a whole new level of customization.
If you do not have the time or the required programming skills in-house (the scripting interface of PaperCut uses JavaScript), we can develop customised scripts for you. Simply complete the form below and someone from our team will be in touch soon. Be sure to check out our blog, we regularly create free scripts to demonstrate our advanced skill-set.
You can find some examples of what we have done below, and these are taken from our Script of the Month feature.
