PaperCut Questions
Question:
Can you please explain the current PaperCut license arrangement?
Answer:
Anamosa is currently licensed for 13 devices. Renewal date is September 30, 2022. Current vendor is TBS Inc. Anamosa prefers to maintain this PaperCut relationship. ITS currently integrates user codes for Anamosa Schools and provides the add/change support for the PaperCut users. Anamosa does not foresee adding additional printers into the PaperCut environment.
(Please note any additional costs to add your printers to a PaperCut solution if they do not natively support an embedded solution)

Yes, Anamosa received pricing from TBS on this.
