PaperCut NG: A powerful application that lets you monitor local printers and limit user access

PaperCut NG is a feature-rich piece of software designed to help you monitor server and local printer, and set up user access restrictions. It provides numerous advanced features such as multiple user permissions, reports, customizable admin roles and logs.

During the installation you can choose the components you want to install which include the primary server, secondary print server, web print server for sandbox mode and site server.
