PaperCut offers a choice of two popular SSO technologies, Integrated Windows Authentication and WebAuth. For more information, see Single sign-on chapter in the user manual .

• The ability to extract the username from print job PJL which is required for some enterprise environments has been extended to support CUPS on Linux and Mac. See the manual chapter on external usernames for more information.
