PaperCut Software
PaperCut has replaced our pharos system which was a huge project. PaperCut manages all of our printers extremely well and does have lots of options for setting them up the way you want to.

PaperCut Software
The user community for PaperCut is smaller than other products we use in HR, IT, marketing and project management. We had an account manager assigned to us. Whenever we had any issues we would email him. The account manager was acting as an interface with the developers and other teams. The response times were reasonable.

Alternatives Considered
PaperCut Software
Print Audit is a similar set-up that boasts about server-based architecture and how they are using a reputable and current business model (you can google the articles to see the propaganda), but ultimately it falls short when compared to PaperCut. PaperCut is just easier to use once everything has been installed. You don't even think about it anymore and it becomes part of your entire computer, which is exactly what I want when printing. This is something that is a no-brainer and doesn't get in my way. Print Audit got in my way and wasn't worth the hassle.
