PaperCut

PaperCut is Concordia's print management system. It ensures accurate billing and reporting of university printing costs, helps users choose printing methods that are cost effective, and allows for better printing access for laptop users. The following is a basic guide to printing from a Windows desktop computer with PaperCut installed.

Which client to use?

Not sure which client to use?

  • Web Print: Preferred and supported method for students and any personal computers. It is quick and only requires a few minutes to set up. Instructions on that can be found at our Web Printing article.
  • PaperCut client: Only used for computers on campus or users who require multi-function device (MFD) services when printing. For instructions on how to install and configure PaperCut, continue below.
