First of all, it is great to see that you are a smart administrator! We are a technically focused company and love working with people who have a passion about technology and more importantly a passion to ensure that “it works”! PaperCut is a well tested application deployed cross tens-of-thousands of organizations. It should never “crash” your system, but it is possible to configure it incorrectly and have it accidentally deny user printing unexpectedly. Hence it is worth taking some time to consider this on larger networks. Here are some risk mitigation options: Standalone testing: PaperCut will function on standalone system. Installing PaperCut on a desktop system such as XP Pro, Vista, or Mac OS X Workstation is a good way to get a general “feel” for PaperCut. Just set up a few local printers for testing and experiment with the PaperCut features.
