Here at PaperCut, Sysadmin Day is the most wonderful time of the year!

So we went that little extra mile to celebrate. We reached out to Todd Black, systems administrator for the University of Queensland.

Welcome back to our brand new blog series, “What’s the scoop on X in 20.0?”

To celebrate our release of 20.0 I’m chatting with PaperCutters about their feature’s latest enhancements for this year’s major build!

To celebrate the release of PaperCut 20.0 we’re starting a brand new series – “What’s the scoop on X in 20.0.”

We’ll be zooming in on all the shiny and sparkling nuts and bolts under the hood of this major build.

PaperCut 20.0 is now available.

20.0 has new enhancements for Healthcare with Epic Systems integration! We’ve also made printing easier for users with new Print Deploy updates, and PaperCut MF is now even more resilient.
