Download the latest Mac DMG disk image and execute the contained installer called PaperCut NG Secondary Server Installation.pkg. /kies-samsung-free-download-mac.html. Step 5 – Configuration The Print Provider on the secondary server needs to know where the primary server is installed. Jan 08, 2020.
After installation, the install will open a web browser window. The configuration stages are explained below:
This is the master password for the main in-built admin account, and is independent of the operating system or domain passwords. The password will need to meet minimum strength requirements, and must be at least six characters. Ensure that knowledge of this password is kept secure. This screen also sets the system's physical location and language; ensure that these are correct before proceeding.

Tip
Treat this password like your router/modem management passwords. It is independent of your domain accounts and needs to be kept secure.
This is the organization type which matches the organizational environment where PaperCut NG will be used. Choosing the appropriate organization type will determine which system defaults are used on setup. For example, in a Professional (Client Billing) organization, where it is useful to charge-back printing to customers, an advanced client popup is provided with additional features useful for dealing with large numbers of client (shared) accounts. These default settings chosen for an organization type can be changed after installation.
This is the default cost-per-page assigned to the printers. This setting can be changed on a per printer basis after installation. Choosing a sensible cost now will help minimize future setup. For example in the USA, a value of $0.05 would be appropriate for many standard black & white printers.
When the organization type has been set to Education, users can be assigned an initial starting credit. This ensures they have funds in their account as soon as the system is enabled. An option also exists to control what happens when users run out of credit/quota. If you are evaluating PaperCut NG it might be appropriate not to disable printing when a users funds run out. This way you can be assured that user printing is not disrupted during the evaluation. These settings may be changed after setup.
PaperCut NG extracts user information out of the System or Domain. The options presented here will vary depending on the Operating System and its environment. During evaluation, most sites will opt to import all users from the system/domain into PaperCut NG. An option also exists to import a subset of users from a given group. This option is pertinent when it is known that only a subset of users will only ever use the printers.

Options include Mac Standard (PAM, Local NetInfo, etc.), LDAP (Open Directory), or Samba. Select Mac Standard if the user accounts are setup and defined on the local system. This option will work with most Mac networks.
The LDAP option is appropriate for large networks with existing Open Directory domains. This includes networks running Mac OS X Server with Open Directory, and Windows domains running Active Directory. PaperCut NG will do it's best to auto discover LDAP settings, but some knowledge of LDAP and/or Open Directory will be required. More information on LDAP is available in the section called “Using LDAP for user synchronization”.
Use the to test and confirm your settings before continuing.
Client Settings in Professional (Client Billing) installations
In a Professional (Client Billing) environment, the main focus is on allowing users to allocate print jobs to client (shared) accounts. The process works by:
Papercut Mac Secondary Server Download 64-bit
Pausing all jobs that enter the print queues.
Displaying a popup on the user's workstation asking them to allocate the print job to an account. This is done by selecting the account from a list.
After the user has responded to the popup, the job is released to the printer.
You can read more about the account selection process and shared accounts at Chapter 8, Shared Accounts.
The account selection popup option is enabled at the user level. Once the option is enabled, the user must run the client software. If the client software is not running, the popup cannot display, and the job will remain paused in the print queue. This option is hence considered high impact. You are presented with two strategies that allow you to choose the implementation approach that best suits your needs:
In this strategy the account popup is only initially enabled on a single user for testing. You need to nominate the testing account; this may be an existing system/domain account used for testing purposes or even your own user account. The username should be in the format used to log into the domain/system (usually the short form).
The minimal impact strategy will allow you to test the popup with the nominated test system/domain user account, after which the Advanced Account Selection Popup option can be enabled for other users as appropriate.
This strategy enables the account selection popup on all users, and is often preferred for smaller networks as it minimizes the required post-install configuration. Once the client has been deployed, the system will be operational. If this option is selected, you should be prepared for installation of the client software to user desktops (see Step 7) immediately to prevent disruption of user printing services.
If in doubt, select the minimal impact strategy. This will ensure the impact is isolated to only the nominated test account.
Prior to enabling the configuration options that you have selected, you will have the chance to verify setup options. At this stage you are still able to return to any of the prior configuration screens to alter options before clicking .
After completing the configuration wizard you will be presented with a user synchronization status screen, showing the progress and results of the system completing its initial setup. Once you have closed that, click to access the interface and begin familiarising yourself with the options and features available. Take some time to explore, and refer back to the relevant sections of this manual as required.
I’ve set up a secondary server and the printers are not showing up in the PaperCut Admin Console under the Printers tab, or jobs are not showing up in the job log for that printer.
What can I check?
Confirm Connectivity:
1. From the secondary server, confirm that you can access the Primary server by either:
Test a telnet connection to the Primary server:
- simply type: telnet servername 9191 at a command prompt.
- If you receive an error like Could not open connection to host, then there is probably a network/firewall issue not letting the connection through.
- If the screen goes blank then the connection was established successfully. Press Ctrl+] then type quit to close the telnet session.
or try to access the PaperCut Admin console from the secondary server:http://[IP address of the Primary App Server]:9191/admin
2. Ensure that the necessary ports are opened on any firewall software or devices on the network, as detailed here: Firewall Configuration - Ports Used by PaperCut.
Confirm Secondary Server installation and config:
3. Confirm that you have installed the same version of secondary server software as the Primary Application is running. The secondary server is installed as per the Configuring Secondary Print Servers and Locally Attached Printers section of the manual.
You can download previous versions of PaperCut (to match the version that you’re running on the Primary App Server) from this link: http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/PastVersions
4. Confirm that the connection details in the print-provider.conf file is correct, as detailed in Step 4 of the install instructions.
The config file is located here: [app-path]providersprint[platform]print-provider.conf

5. Restart the ‘PaperCut Print Provider’ service (Windows), or restart the secondary server to pick up any changes made above.
6. If you’re running the secondary server on Mac OS, confirm that the printer has been enabled for PaperCut monitoring by performing the steps to Add a new printer on a Mac
7. Check the Print Provider logs in [app-path]providersprint[platform]print-provider.log to see if there are any errors listed, and to confirm that it is monitoring the local print queues.
Check the Admin Console:

8. Check that the Printer on the secondary server is appearing in the ‘Printers’ tab in the PaperCut administration console - otherwise, re-check the steps above, and then enable debug in the Print Provider and send the log files through to PaperCut Support.
9. Check that jobs sent to the print queues on the secondary server are appearing under Printers → [select secondary server print queue] → Job Log. If they are not, try pausing the print queue on the secondary server at the Operating System level, and send another job to the print queue. Confirm that the job shows up as paused in the print queue on the server. If not, check through the troubleshooting steps to determine why Jobs are not being tracked.
