Find Me printing solves the problem of finding the closest printer from a long list of available printers. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find users based on their physical location. It's sometimes referred to as "Pull Printing", "Push Printing" or "Follow Me" printing. It's a great solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.

Location Aware

Users simply print to a single global virtual queue, and through the use of print release stations PaperCut NG knows which printers are nearby, and can pick the best one without bothering the user with the details.

Load Balanced

Where multiple local printers are available intelligent load balancing algorithms determine the best candidate based on factors such as printer load and error conditions.
