Config key Description

web-print.max-copies This is the maximum number of copies a user can print via Web Print. This option exists to prevent users accidentally printing too much.

The following configuration options are available in the Web Print server configuration file, located at [app-path]/providers/web-print/[platform]/web-print.conf.

Config Name Description
hotfolder The location of the Web Print hot folder. This is generally a mapped drive letter (Windows) or a mount point that maps to a file share (Mac, Linux). It might also be a local path, if the Web Print server software is running on the same system as the PaperCut NG/MF primary server.
