SO MUCH BETTER

The new app is night and day better than the last version. Very glad to report that it is working great on my iPhone and iPad.

Put search into the printer list

Terrible time consuming app

The app regularly crashes and I’m forced to delete and reinstall. This app was forced on us by our IT team at work. Highly inefficient and functionally irritating.

Good for headaches

Unless you enjoy headaches, countless updates, and random errors… avoid this software

Easy to use

Very easy to use. I would love to see an app that works natively with my iPad’s screen resolution. PaperCut Hive is the future even though it still doesn’t have feature parity with MF

How do I use the app to release a print job?

What are the benefits of using PaperCut Hive for printing?

PaperCut Hive offers several benefits, including secure document collection to prevent others from taking your prints, a 'find-me' or 'pull-printing' system, the ability to easily correct forgotten settings like duplex printing, and a simplified printing process across different devices, especially for BYOD scenarios.
