About print delivery

In this section, we cover what you need to know about print delivery — how an end-user’s print job gets to the printer.

In this section

• Print delivery overview — A primer on how the different configurable features of print delivery work together. A good place to start!
• Autopilot — The default print job delivery logic that works out-of-the-box in PaperCut Hive and Pocket, delivering print jobs to the printer by the fastest and most efficient route.
• Print Delivery Profiles — For those who prefer taking the wheel, Print Delivery Profiles allow sysadmins to control and specify the exact route a print job takes when being released (instead of using Autopilot).
• Print protocols — An overview of the protocol options you can specify for each printer. Set one protocol or a hierarchy of options.
• [Beta] Cloud Delivery — Infrastructureless delivery option that allows the printer app to pull the print job directly from the cloud, without the need for a local client. Available on certain brands for PaperCut Hive only.
