Windows

Your computer will need to be running Windows 10 21H1 or higher to use the Papercut service. The MacOS instructions are further down this page

Checking version of Windows 10:

• Type “winver” into the search bat, and press Enter.

The version needs to be 21H1 or higher. If this isn’t the version you are running, go to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/windows-10-update-assistant

Download and run the Windows 10 Update Assistant – this may take well over an hour, and you will be required to reboot on completion.

For the next steps, you will need to be connected via eduroam, VPN or a wired connection.

Setup your credential manager:

1. Type Credential Manager into your search bar in Windows and click the first option that appears.
2. Click Windows Credentials, then Add a Windows credential. Type the following information into the text boxes.
   • Internet or network address: papercut.eng.cam.ac.uk
   • Username: *your crsid*@ad.eng.cam.ac.uk  (for example jsd123@ad.eng.cam.ac.uk)
   • Password: Your Teaching System password. 
3. Click OK

Installing the printer via Windows Run.

1. Search for Run in the Windows search bar. Click the first option that appears.
2. In the box that appears, type \\papercut.eng.cam.ac.uk\printers.
3. The printer drivers will automatically install on your system, and will name the new printer as printers on papercut

Once you have successfully added the printer, we advise you print a test page to ensure that you have correctly installed the printer.
