Building new Windows 2019 Server with PaperCut

[MrWu]

Hi all

 

Planning to build a Windows 2019 server running latest PaperCut before Christmas.

 

Have folks ran this setup ok? Was thinking of using SQL Express 2016 as the DB

 

Any tips or best practice?

 

Thanks!

Any reason you want to use ms sql, Papercut's db does the job for most installations

We have 18.3.6 running on Server 2019, no issues at all, was a very straighforward install and its been in since February. We didn't use an SQL database, just let Papercut install its own, there are about 20 printers on that box printing around 8000 pages a day with approx 1000 users.

Hi, only because the Copier people recommended it, we have approx 1500 users on board...

We used the internal DB for about that size school and it works fine.

I would always suggest using an external database regardless of size, there are some great options out there.

I have installs 4 or 5 times bigger running on the internal database with no issues. It's not till your at the 10k user mark when they recommend going to an external database.
