PaperCut Hive First-Time Login Guide

The Office of Information Technology is using PaperCut Hive to deploy and manage printers across the SC4 campus. As part of this process, all employees will need to locate and sign in to the PaperCut Hive application on their computer for the first time.

SC4 utilizes Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing you to sign in using your SC4 email address and current password. Once you have successfully logged in, PaperCut Hive will automatically begin deploying the printers assigned to you. Printer installation typically takes 6–10 minutes to complete, and no additional action is required.

Please follow the steps below to complete your initial sign-in and printer setup. If you experience any issues during the process or your printers do not appear after 10 minutes, please contact the SC4 Helpdesk at (810) 989-5615 for assistance.
