This source provides detailed technical instructions for installing and configuring the PaperCut print management client and the associated virtual network printer on Windows operating systems at the Universität Greifswald.

    - Standard 64-bit systems use the **PCL6 Driver for Universal Print** from the Ricoh Universal driver package.
    - ARM-based devices (e.g., Microsoft Surface Pro) are directed to use the pre-installed **Microsoft PCL6 Class Driver** due to compatibility issues, with a note that some features may be unavailable.
