Papercut Setup

[Theldron]

Hi all,

 

I am reviewing our Papercut setup, as at the moment we are using printer credits and have duplex and colour scripts and we do not chargeback (previous SLT would not allow this).

 

I want to create a proposal for the new SLT on a new Papercut setup. Basically i would like to setup chargeback (department accounts for staff), etc.

 

It would be really helpful if people could let me know how they setup there Papercut, and what they recommend?

 

Cheers

We've got PaperCut setup as this:

Each account tied to their AD one has an allowance. Everything is charged to that on photocopying/printing etc.

Ive set those charges to be a small amount above the actual printing to claw back paper etc costs.

Dept heads get an email to show what their staff are doing - monthly.

Charge per print regardless if it's double (just saves paper costs that's all).

Default Mono for everything.

Students can't print more than one copy or go above 30 pages I think it is.

 

What I hope to have soon:

Instead of personal allowances, it's department allowances which requires staff to choose which budget to charge.

These are currently setup and can easily be modified.

Dept heads will set an allowance and once they breach it - it's up to the DOH to authorise.

Photocopying stopped for Students.

Photocopying limited for Staff.

 

All big jobs passed to reprographics.

 

Just waiting on Toshiba > PaperCut to resolve all this though.

 

*Currently it's all charged back to departments.
