Printers/Linux

Setting up Papercut printers on Linux

Unfortunately, Papercut does not offer a quick installation for mobile printing on Linux, so the printers must be configured manually. The following steps should work on all Linux distributions where CUPS is installed.

The printers require a login after submitting print jobs. See the print queue once a job has been submitted.
