My Printers Tab

This tab contains the currently installed printers PaperCut has installed on your computer. If a printer has a trash can icon with a slash through it, this means it is a required install by IT and cannot be removed. This will typically be the copiers located at your school. If your printer has a trash can icon without a slash, you can click the icon to have the printer removed from your device.

Add Printers Tab

As the name suggests, printers in this list can be easily installed onto your computer. Search for your room number in the upper right corner, find the printer you want to install and click “Install”.
