PaperCut Print Deploy
Introduction
PaperCut Print Deploy is a utility that can be installed in both macOS and Windows that will make it easier to install campus printers. It can be used on all UIW-owned and personal computers by current faculty, staff, and students.
It provides a list of printers that are available to install based on department, current campus location or preference and communicates with UIW's PaperCut system so will only work while on UIW's network. It works while plugged in to an Ethernet connection and on wireless networks uiw-employees and uiw-students.
