Releasing Jobs from a Desktop Printer

For most printers you have two choices: 

1. Swipe and release all print jobs in your queue 
2. Swipe and choose which print jobs to release

Option 1 is inexpensive, you only have to add a card reader with the networking option, but you lose the advantage of not printing unwanted print jobs.

Option 2 costs quite a bit more.  Since most printers can't interface with Papercut or other print management solutions directly, you would have to add a tablet-like device to see and choose your print jobs.  These tablets can cost around $1,500...this adds quite a bit of cost and reduces the ROI.

Depending on the environment and requirements either option has it's place.

​To realize the cost savings of print management the best environment for PaperCut would be a smaller number of large MFP's.
