I'm a student — How do I log in?

THE PAGE APPLIES TO:

Last updated November 7, 2025

We get it — it’s frustrating when you can’t log in, especially when you just need to print something quickly.

The good news: your school or college’s IT team can help you right away. PaperCut makes the software, but your organization manages your account and passwords.

To get help, reach out to your school’s main office or IT department.

This article is about PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF. The PaperCut login screen will look something like this:

Note: If you see the name Pocket or Hive anywhere (like on your printers) then go to Printing for end users of PaperCut Hive or PaperCut Pocket instead.

Where is the PaperCut login page?

You are currently on the PaperCut company website. We make the software, but we don't manage your school's printing system. We can’t provide a direct link because every school has its own unique web address (URL).

Please ask your IT department or school’s front office for the login address.

What are my username and password login details?

Your PaperCut login details are almost always the same username and password you use for other school systems (like logging in to a computer, WiFi, or the student portal).

If your password does not work, you need to contact your school's IT department or help desk for all password and account issues.

Note:

  • PaperCut (the company) cannot reset your password.

  • Don't try to use any password reset function on this (papercut.com) website.

Why can't PaperCut help me with my account?

For your security and privacy, we do not have any access to your school's system.

We make the PaperCut software, but your school's IT team installs, hosts, and manages it completely. They are the only ones who can access your account, reset your password, or help you log in.

How do I print with PaperCut?

The process for getting set up to print can be different at every school or organization. Your school's IT department is responsible for choosing and setting up the specific method you need to use.

The short answer: You have to reach out to your IT department to get set up for printing.

They will be able to provide you with the exact instructions for your environment.
