PaperCut Mobile-Print Solution Now Available Free

by · Published · Updated

On November 21, PaperCut announced that it’s making its mobile-printing and BYOD printing feature, PaperCut Mobility Print, a free standalone product.

Mobility Print lets businesses and schools implement easy printing from Chromebooks, Android, iOS, Apple Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows devices in any combination – no fees, subscriptions, or extra software needed.

Previously only available as part of PaperCut NG and MF (PaperCut’s print management solutions), Mobility Print is used by some 10 million users worldwide.

“We hate seeing people waste time on something so essential as setting up printers,” says PaperCut Product Manager Willem Groenewald. “Mobility Print is our gift to give time back to millions without having to jump into the deep end of print management, or pay extra.”

Mobility Print provides:

  • Automatic printer and print-driver installation to enable printing from Chromebooks, Android, iOS, Mac OS, and Windows devices.
  • Printing via the device’s native interface in any application
  • Easy self-setup to let users find shared network printers without relying on IT staff.
  • Continuous updates pushed on release to reduce ongoing maintenance.

“We work closely with Google to optimize printing on Chromebooks. They’re a top seller in education, with many enterprise businesses adopting them as well, so we wanted the experience to be second to none,” Willem said.

A Mobility Print update in early 2020 will also let users print over the Internet and/or from un-trusted guest networks by sending print jobs via PaperCut’s cloud service – completely compressed, encrypted and free.
