Adding a Printer Using the PaperCut Print Deploy Client

This guide provides instructions for staff and faculty on how to install a printer using the PaperCut Print Deploy Client.

Prerequisites

Before you can add a printer, your computer must be properly set up and connected to the Michener network. This is required for the PaperCut Print Deploy Client to load and show available printers.

First, you must be using a Michener-managed device. This means your device is provided or managed by Michener and is enrolled in Intune. If you recently received a new laptop or computer as part of the 2025/2026 PC refresh project, your device is already Intune-enrolled.

You also need to be connected to the Michener network. You can do this in one of the following ways:

• A wired (plug-in) network connection, or 

• Michener Wi-Fi with VPN enabled

If you are not connected to the Michener network in one of these ways, the list of printers will not appear, you will not be able to install a printer, and printing will not work.

Step 1: Open PaperCut Print Deploy Client

At the bottom-right corner of your screen, near the clock, click the small arrow (^) to show hidden icons.

Click the PaperCut icon. This will open a small menu on your screen to either "Refresh my printers now" or "View my Printers".

From that menu, select “View my printers.”

Once you do this, the PaperCut Print Deploy Client window will open, allowing you to see all available printers and install the one you need.

Step 2: Go to Add Printers

In the PaperCut Print Deploy Client window, click “Add printers” in the left-hand menu.

You will now see a list of all available printers.

Most of the printers in this list are floor or area printers located across the Michener building. You should choose the one that is closest to or used by your department.

You can install any printer from this list, but only the printers that match your department or area will work for your printing needs. If you are unsure, you can try the closest floor printer first.

Installing the wrong printer is safe, but you may not be able to print to it.

Step 3: Install the Printer

Find the printer that your department is able to access in the list and click the “Install” button next to it.

Your computer will start setting up the printer. This may take a few moments while it installs in the background.

Once it is installed successfully, you will see a green confirmation message box appear at the bottom of the PaperCut window saying that the printer has been installed. This means the setup is complete and the printer is now ready to use.

Having Trouble Installing the Printer?

If the printer doesn’t install or you see an error message:

• Check your connection: Make sure you’re connected to the Michener network (or VPN if you’re on Wi-Fi)
• Try clicking “Install” again

If it still doesn’t work after trying the steps above, please contact the Helpdesk for assistance.

Step 4: Confirm Installation

Click “My printers” in the left-hand menu.

This will show a list of all printers that are currently installed on your computer.

Check that the printer you installed appears in this list. If you can see it here, it means the printer has been added successfully and is ready to use.

If you installed the wrong printer, you can remove it at any time. This will not affect your computer or other printers.

How to remove a printer using PaperCut Print Deploy
