PaperCut Print Deploy To The Rescue

You know the drill.

The phone rings, the email chimes, someone walks up while you're making a coffee.

"Hey, we've bought a new printer. Can you install it for us?"

And this is your thought process. This is what goes through your mind in the nano-seconds it takes to respond to that … question:

1. Please tell me it's networkable.
   
2. I hope its DHCP stack is reliable. It better work with a DHCP reservation.
   
3. What’s its duty cycle? This department has some heavy users.
   
4. What capacity toner does it have?
   
5. Oh, what if it's ink? Not sure our toner supplier does ink.
   
6. Did it come with PostScript support?
   
7. I wonder if it comes with a maintenance contract?
   
8. Duplexer? Media bypass tray?
   
9. Drivers. Please have a good driver package.
   
10. Hmm, user defaults. Hopefully I can deploy a sensible default with their admin tooling.
    
11. Oh no. Their department’s split between Windows and macOS, and they have contractors and a heap of new hires.
    

Nooooooooooooo ...

"Uh, sure thing,” you say politely. “When do you need it?"

"We have a product launch Monday. We bought the printer to deal with the orders. We've moved everyone to a new area so we can work together."

Of course, it's Friday 2pm. No one respects Read Only Friday.

"New … new area?" you stammer.

"Yep! On floor 5, the network was finished yesterday."

Maybe PaperCut can help with that cold sweat that's just broken out.
