#PAPERCUT NG VS. MF WINDOWS#

I couldn’t have gotten through this without your guidance. Now, it just works, as we had expected, consistently with little administration required (now that it’s setup).Ī VERY BIG thank you to Peter and Alan from the Portland office as well, for their expertise. Having Peter involved in this process was paramount in seeing it through to completion.

With Help from Peter Fitzgerald in PaperCut support (AU Office), we were able to map our current PaperCut deployment and work to implement our AD server.

Part of this process for me is to migrate our Novell iPrint Environment to our Windows AD environment. For the past couple years we have been developing and deploying our Active Directory environment in lieu of Novell being retired. We are a Novell institution and as such all of our user authentication and accounting is processed by way of each users Novell credentials. Moving from a custom built in house printing model to one designed to do exactly what we wanted in the first place, the transition has been a welcome one to say the least. Our Spring semester we earned $535 from our Top-UP cards. We also used Top-UP cards and sold them in increments of $1, $5, and $10. After they used up their $25 credit or 357 prints they would have to purchase a Top-UP card. We set a limit for the students to have 357 prints in for Spring semester. Paper cost for the entire college went down 29%. The following Spring semester, the top 10 students had a total of 7,320 prints. Each toner cartridge cost $152, we had a savings in that lab alone of $760 on toner cartridges.įall semester the top 10 students who printed the most, had a total of 44,342 prints. In one lab, we went from using 9 toner cartridges in the Fall to 4 toner cartridges in the Spring. The results show PaperCut NG is effective. We perform a silent monitoring in the Fall semester 2005 and actually ran PaperCut NG in the following Spring semester 2006. I researched other companies and PaperCut stands out as the best.
